DIMAPUR, JUNE 25 (MExN): Bethesda Youth Welfare Center (BYWC), Dimapur distributed nutritional support to BPL families affected by drug abuse on Saturday, June 25.

This year’s theme is ‘Think Health not Drugs’. The nutritional food items were funded under Project I-81 of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

Under the UNODC’s project, the worker said that they have on their target to reach out 280 women who are into drugs or those who are partially or directly affected as a result of her male partner abusing drugs. They have 80 ‘female injecting drug users’ and 200 ‘partners or female spouses of male IDUs’ on its targeted list.
