Youth in
Rabai have raised an alarm over the manner in which youth are involved in drug
abuse in the society.
Led by
chairman, Ruruma Youth group, Levy Chifuka, he called on youth to form groups
and volunteer in community work as it gives a chance to learn more.
He was
speaking after leading a cleaning exercise at Makanzani dispensary, in Ruruma
Rabai district where he insisted on the need for youth to engage in productive
group activities.
“There
is need for the youth to be engaged more in productive activities in our
community and the best way is for them to form groups and get noticed and guided
on what to do. We have learn how to handle the sick in our community and how
to keep our environment clean at our home level.” Noted Chifuka.
The medical
officer in charge of Makanzani Hospital, Kasichana Kalama, uploaded Ruruma
youth for their initiative to clean the area and revealed that the management
has difficult time in cleaning the compound due to inadequate staff.

“This is
a nice job and I encourage you to continue and educate the community more on
the importance of clean environment. If we have clean environment the risk of
some diseases like Malaria can be reduced in our society.” Said the doctor.
According
to Danstun Mumba, the national youth chairperson, Rabai sub county, there is
need for the leadership of the area to pressure the investors in Rabai to
employ local youth from the area.
He noted
despite the area being rich in investors many youth are still languishing due
to lack of employment opportunities despite most of them being qualified.
