How we are using Boxing to Kick against Drug Abuse in Challenged communities.
According to expert reports in Nigeria, 54% of drug addicts in the country are adolescents, 18 years and below. Let that sink in.
More than half of those battling addiction are kids… children who should be in school, discovering their talents, building dreams, not fighting for their lives.
Every day, young boys and girls, especially those in challenged communities, are exposed to substances like codeine, tramadol, loud, crack, and other dangerous drugs, often introduced by older peers or street influences.
In places where poverty is loud and hope is silent, the streets become a trap… and many fall into the grip of The Big D – Drugs.
Destiny Found Under The Bridge…
Something unforgettable happened at Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria
As we joined Ganiyu Oladayo in bringing boxing to the streets to raise awareness against drug abuse, we noticed a young boy, under the bridge, hawking, watching, listening… and refusing to leave.
He stood there from beginning to end.
Every speech. Every demonstration. Every moment of hope is shared.
When our African Coordinator finished speaking, this young boy quietly walked up and said:
“Sir… one day, I will be a champion.”
We spoke with him. And in that moment, the truth hit us:
Behind every struggling child on the streets… there is a dream waiting to be heard.
