The initiative, had been launched July 28 in Alexandria, Matrouh and Kafr el-Sheikhon.
Ibrahim Askar, director of the fund’s Awareness and Education Program, told Al-Monitor, “The initiative focuses mainly on coastal cities, because there are large numbers of young people and families on the beaches during the summer. It is a great opportunity for us to deliver important messages about addiction and its damage.”
