Narconon Nepal, since its establishment in 2004, has saved the lives of over 200 addicts through their drug rehabilitation program. Realizing that prevention was the key to eliminating abuse in Nepal, the staff began a comprehensive education campaign, enlisting the help of Narconon graduates and students in the local schools. Narconon Nepal has now educated over 500,000 school children in both Nepal and India. They also run a weekly "Say No to Drugs" TV program covering 4.9 million viewers in Nepal and many more in 75 countries around the world.

All of the trainees then went on to deliver a short presentation to students in a local school as part of their apprenticeship. He then went on to train rehab professionals at the Quezon City Drug rehabilitation facility, as well as staff from five other rehab programs in the area. By the end of the one week session, they had put their newly learned skills to use and could see for themselves the very positive results.
