Viva a Vida offered a drug treatment programme for street children and low-income adolescents until October 2009 when it was the ONLY residential drug rehabilitation centre for adolescents in the region. Unfortunately, the global financial crisis hit our small charity and dwindling funds meant that we had to make the tough decision to close down the treatment centre and concentrate our funding to continue running our aftercare mentoring and support service and our prevention in schools project.
