Breaking the habit for a better life
A report commissioned by the Ministry of Youth and ICT (MYICT) last year revealed that 52.5% of young Rwandans have tried a drug, including alcohol, and among them 5% tried an illegal substance, mainly marijuana. The report revealed high levels of alcohol consumption (34%) and tobacco (8.5%) among youth aged between 14 and 35. It is further estimated that one young man or woman out of every 13 is alcohol-dependent.
