BALM FOR THE BRUISED FOUNDATION hopes to achieve this goal of reintegrating these classes of citizens through training in various skills and other empowerment programs. The foundation was first launched on 27th September 2017 and has held several programs to educate women, students, and parents on the dangers of drug abuse and illicit trafficking, violence, and corruption including employing Media Based Prevention Strategies to reduce these anomalies.
