On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, let’s remember: Suicide is the 4th leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds worldwide (@WHO ).
In #Rwanda, the rate is ~9.5 per 100,000, with young men at higher risk.
Youth need hope, connection & support. Every life matters.
#YouAreNotAlone

[Youths Empowerment Scholars Initiative Rwanda @Yesi_Rwanda]

🚨 Alert🚨
Youth need more than awareness — they need opportunities.
Through the #YDSARProject we protect minds from drug abuse, and with the coming YESI Creative Hub, we’ll equip them with skills & pathways to independence.

Kicking-off Summer with Purpose! ⚽ #YDSAR's Summer Football Tournament is more than just a game; it's a powerful initiative keeping students engaged, active, and away from the dangers of drug and substance abuse during the holidays @RwandaYouthArts @BureraDistrict

[Youths Empowerment Scholars Initiative Rwanda @Yesi_Rwanda]

⚽ Match Day Two Reminder:

Drug & substance abuse isn’t just a game—it threatens youth mental health, fuels anxiety, depression & dependence, and shatters dreams on & off the pitch.
Let’s protect our minds, stay sober & play for a healthier future.
