Health, Peace-Building and Security

Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) is a student-led organization established within schools to combat drug abuse and promote a drug-free environment. BKD engages students in various educational activities, awareness campaigns, and support initiatives aimed at preventing drug use, educating about its dangers, and providing assistance to those affected by substance abuse. Through peer support, counseling, and advocacy efforts, BKD strives to create a supportive network within the school community to address the issue of drug abuse effectively. The primary objective of BKD is to empower students to resist the temptation of drugs and make informed, healthy choices. By raising awareness about the detrimental effects of drug abuse and addiction, BKD aims to deter students from experimenting with drugs and help those already involved in substance abuse seek assistance and rehabilitation. Through its programs and campaigns, BKD seeks to foster a drug-free culture within schools, where students feel supported and equipped with the knowledge and skills to reject drugs and advocate for a healthy lifestyle. Ultimately, BKD endeavors to create a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, free from the harms of drug abuse.
