SCAD was honored to join our coalition partners in a multi-stakeholder discussion convened by the National Taxpayers Association , focusing on strengthening the monitoring and implementation of the To***co Control Fund and Solatium Fund under Kenya’s To***co Control Act (2007).

This engagement brought together civil society organizations , , .inc , government agencies, and public health advocates united in ensuring that earmarked health funds truly serve their purpose — protecting Kenyans from to***co-related harm.

We reiterate the collective call for stronger transparency, governance, and accountability mechanisms to ensure to***co industry levies are fully directed toward cessation support, research, policy enforcement, and reducing NCD burden in our communities.

Prevention saves lives and money."
Dr. Kevin Sabet reminds us that the world is facing an unprecedented drug crisis and addiction is modern-day slavery. He emphasizes that punishment is not a solution, but prevention and compassion are. Legalization, he warns, only invites criminals while leaving the vulnerable even more exposed. True investment means supporting people, communities, and events like this that strengthen prevention.
“Meet people where they’re at, but don’t leave them there.”

We need to go beyond addiction."
Dr. Rodgers Kasirye reminds us that vulnerability isn’t the problem, the real issue lies in poverty, unemployment, and inequality. He calls for greater investment in prevention, stronger life skills programs, and aligning our efforts with young people’s realities which will help the global south go beyond addiction. To reduce drug demand, we must treat it as a developmental challenge, not just a health one while focusing on the root cause of the problem.

SCAD had an exciting session with the under-15 and under-13 athletes at Lions Football Academy. Through our More Than Football initiative, we are bringing life skills training to young players to complement the great work the academy is already doing in nurturing talent.
This interactive session was the first step in a 15-week life skills curriculum designed to equip adolescents with knowledge, coping strategies, and decision-making skills that reduce the risk of drug initiation, reduce risky behavior, and support the wholesome development of young athletes to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
