TUMAINITUMAINI brings together Congolese stakeholders and prevention partners with a shared ambition: to give young people the knowledge to understand drugs, make informed choices and protect their future.
The project starts with the realities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Priorities, resources and activities are developed with Congolese partners through a gradual process of training, piloting and evaluation.
