Drug Prevention and Personal Safety Awareness Program – WP/NG St. Sylvester Sinhala Mixed School
Project Description
The Drug Prevention and Personal Safety Awareness Program was implemented by Kansarmen SL Foundation (KSLF) on 22 June 2026 with the generous financial support of Adoptie Sri Lanka (Belgium). The program was organized in recognition of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking to educate school children on the dangers of drug abuse, personal safety, child protection, and responsible decision-making.
The awareness program brought together students and teachers from three schools within the Negombo Education Zone, providing an interactive platform to improve children’s understanding of substance abuse prevention, peer pressure, child rights, harassment prevention, and available protection mechanisms. The sessions were conducted by professionals from the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board, Sri Lanka Police, and the Public Health Inspectorate, ensuring practical, age-appropriate, and reliable knowledge for participants.
Location

Reason to choose this project
The project was selected to address the growing risks faced by children, including drug abuse, peer pressure, violence, harassment, and unsafe social environments. Many children, particularly in semi-urban communities, have limited access to structured awareness programs on these important issues.
By conducting this awareness program, Kansarmen SL Foundation aimed to strengthen children’s knowledge, confidence, and life skills, enabling them to make informed decisions, recognize unsafe situations, protect themselves, and seek help when necessary. The initiative also promoted healthier lifestyles and strengthened collaboration between schools and government institutions to support child protection.
