Many people in their prime age in the present generation are not only becoming unproductive but also losing lives. Illiteracy, poverty, negative investments, poor leadership and lack of proper mentorship are factors contributing to the situation. Alcohol and drug abuse is one of the great emerging challenges facing society today. This habit is not limited to national or international boundaries, age, race, culture, religious, social political or economic status of people. The current young generation is at the highest risk due to a lack of true, trans formative mentors who can positively impact their lifestyles. There is a close correlation between drug habits and the high cases of delinquency resulting in crime, poor education and job performance, domestic violence, sexual abuse, early/ teenage pregnancy and emergence of new HIV cases. Family institutions, community development, national stability and sustainability of resources have been directly affected. An unhealthy population results in a weak physical and mental labor force, leading to poverty and negative development.
