Thailand has a vast drug problem and this is especially co in the southern part of the country. Many efforts are made to tackle this, helping people break their addictions and get on the road to recovery. However, getting someone off drugs is only the first step. Next, they must stay drug free, and that’s the hard part.
Many drug users don’t have the skills to find jobs and support themselves. Without work and the self-esteem that comes from providing for themselves, it is all too easy to slip back into drug use.
World In Need is developing a drug rehab centre on five acres of land in Southern Thailand. The recovering men and women at the centre work on the land, producing two or even three harvests a year, which are then sold in local markets and the money raised used to support the centre and its work. The people learn skills and find work, and the centre largely sustains itself.
Please pray for Thailand.
