THE COOL KIDS WHO SAID NO: HOW ONE SCHOOL TURNED THE TIDE AGAINST DRUGS
THE COOL KIDS WHO SAID NO: HOW ONE SCHOOL TURNED THE TIDE AGAINST DRUGS At first, nobody wanted to join the Drug-Free Club. It was tucked away in a dusty classroom at the back of Unity Secondary School, Abuja, a quiet little space with hand-painted posters that read “Stay Clean, Stay Sharp.” To most students, it was a club for
TEN CONVERSATIONS THAT COULD SAVE A TEEN’S LIFE
TEN CONVERSATIONS THAT COULD SAVE A TEEN’S LIFE When Ada first noticed her son, Somto, becoming withdrawn, she assumed it was just a typical teenage mood swing. He was fifteen, quiet one moment, rebellious the next, eyes glued to his phone, music blaring through his headphones. “He’s just growing up,” she told herself, convincing her heart to stay calm. But
WHEN THE SMILE FADED: ADA’S BATTLE WITH THE INVISIBLE WOUND
WHEN THE SMILE FADED: ADA’S BATTLE WITH THE INVISIBLE WOUND When Ada first walked into the Balm for the Bruised Foundation centre in Awkuzu, she wore a bright smile, the kind that could light up a room. But behind that smile was a storm no one could see. For months, she had mastered the art of appearing “fine.” She laughed
CHASING THE HIGH: ADA’s STORY AND THE SILENT STRUGGLE OF OUR TEENS
CHASING THE HIGH: ADA’s STORY AND THE SILENT STRUGGLE OF OUR TEENS When Ada first lit that roll of cannabis behind the school fence, she wasn’t looking to ruin her life.

HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT – HOW GOOD FOOD BECAME CHIKA’S ’s SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE
HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT – HOW GOOD FOOD BECAME CHIKA’S ’s SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE When Chika checked into the rehabilitation centre, she was barely recognisable, thin, pale, and withdrawn. Years of drug use had drained the life out of her eyes and left her body fragile. She could hardly eat, and when she did, it was usually junk,
TRUE-LIFE STORY: HEALING BEYOND THE HABIT
TRUE-LIFE STORY: HEALING BEYOND THE HABIT For years, Ada’s mornings began with guilt and ended with regret. At 29, she had become a shadow of the cheerful young woman her family once knew. Addiction had crept into her life quietly, first as an innocent way to “calm her nerves” after heartbreak, then as a crutch to survive the chaos of
WHEN THE VILLAGE ROSE AGAIN – HOW COMMUNITY LOVE BECAME THE LIFELINE
WHEN THE VILLAGE ROSE AGAIN – HOW COMMUNITY LOVE BECAME THE LIFELINE In the quiet settlement of Umuowa, where red earth paths wind between rows of mud-brick houses, hope once seemed a luxury few could afford. For years, the people battled hunger, sickness, and the silent weight of despair that crept into homes like an unwelcome guest. But all that
FINDING GRACE IN THE BROKENNESS: A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND RECOVERY
FINDING GRACE IN THE BROKENNESS: A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND RECOVERY (A Balm for the Bruised Foundation True-Life Story) When Chinyere first walked into the small church at the edge of Nyanya, she was nothing but a shadow of her former self. Once a vibrant young woman with dreams of becoming a nurse, addiction had stripped her of everything, her
TRUE-LIFE STORY: RELAPSE – WHY IT HAPPENS AND HOW TO PREVENT IT
TRUE-LIFE STORY: RELAPSE – WHY IT HAPPENS AND HOW TO PREVENT IT When Chika walked out of the rehabilitation centre after six long months, she felt reborn. The fog of drug abuse that once clouded her mind seemed to have lifted, and for the first time in years, she saw hope waiting on the horizon. She promised her mother she
LIFE AFTER REHAB: CHIKA’S JOURNEY BACK TO HOPE
LIFE AFTER REHAB: CHIKA’S JOURNEY BACK TO HOPE When Chika walked out of the rehabilitation centre two years ago, she thought she had conquered the hardest part of her life. She was wrong. Addiction had stolen her teenage years and much of her twenties. It had cost her friendships, fractured her family ties, and silenced her dreams of becoming a
