In Kenya, drug use is an ongoing prevalent issue among those from both rural and urban areas of the country.

These issues have had significant repercussions, including increased violence, strain on healthcare services, heightened vulnerability to HIV infection, and chemical dependence. In response, local communities and the national government have undertaken initiatives to tackle these challenges.
