Swedish National Association for a Drug Free Society, RNS
The Swedish National Association for a Drug-free Society (RNS) is a Swedish popular movement campaigning against illicit drugs founded in 1969 by Nils Bejerot, a physician. Today we have some 10,000 members throughout Sweden. We do not have any religious or party-political affiliations.
RNS sees its main task as lobbying for a restrictive drugs policy in Sweden, by which we mean that all abuse of illicit drugs must be combated. Establishing preventive measures against drug abuse is important, as is consistent, early intervention wherever it occurs. Our goal, of course, must be to persuade young people never to try drugs in the first place.
RNS is not an organisation representing the interests of any particular professional or other group. Our aim is to unite all democratically-minded people in the struggle for a drug-free society, irrespective of their views on other political issues.

Sahkar Social Welfare Association Larkana
Sahkar Social Welfare Association is a drug abuse prevention organization committed to develop, and promote strategies, policies, healthy life styles, enhancing positive attitudes, improving life skills and empowering individuals to reduce illegal drug use, drug addiction, crimes and drug-related injuries.
Pakistan is today notorious for many things, but in the last 20 years, drug production and addiction has increasingly become just one of them.
The issue of drug addiction is often overshadowed by the many of the country's other human development problems, such as poverty, illiteracy and lack of basic health care. But the fact is, drug abuse is rapidly growing in Pakistan.
Pakistan is not only one of the main exporters of heroin, it has also become a net importer of drugs. It is estimated that about 50 tons of opium are smuggled into Pakistan for processing heroin for domestic use. Almost 80 percent of the opium processed in Pakistan comes from neighboring countries.

San Patrignano
In 1978, 20 volunteers helped Vincenzo Muccioli create the San Patrignano community. It began with a family that decided to open its doors to other people's problems. Self-respect and respect for others, the ethics of responsibility and the spirit of helping those who are most in need: these are the founding principles of San Patrignano. Today San Patrignano is the largest drug rehabilitation community in the world, welcoming young men and women with drug abuse problems. Since 1978, it has provided over 25,000 people with a home, medical, and legal assistance, as well as the possibility of continuing their studies, attending job training, and being reintegrated into society.
San Patrignano does not accept money from its guests, their families or the government. Of the funds necessary to maintain San Patrignano's guests, half comes from the profits earned through San Patrignano's goods and services, following a principle of autonomy. The rest comes from private donors or companies that believe in the social value of the center.
Currently the Community is home to 1,600 people, who eat together each day in the main dining room in a family setting. Recent studies conducted by several major universities show that 72% of those who completed the programme at San Patrignano are fully reintegrated into society and remain drug-free and 71% end up working in the field in which they received training at San Patrignano.
