    (Tangaza University, 2024) BAMEKO ENGONDOLO JULES-FRANCOIS
    The present research project aimed at finding out how drug abuse is a moral problem among the youths; a case study of Saints Joseph and Mary Catholic Parish Shauri Moyo. The International Journal of Public Health of April 2017 testifies that drug abuse is one among many problems faced by humanity currently, especially the youth. Cases of drug and alcohol abuse leading to immoral acts and anti-social behavior have enormously increased in recent years.1 This issue is negatively impacting every region of Kenya and it has raised significant concerns among the government and other stakeholders such as learning institutions, parents, and churches. This also applies to Saints Joseph and Mary Catholic Parish Shauri Moyo in the Nairobi Archdiocese. Saints Joseph and Mary Catholic Parish Shauri Moyo is found in Nairobi County (the Capital City of the Republic of Kenya). “Shauri Moyo is a low-income neighborhood in Pumwani in the city of Nairobi. It is approximately 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) southeast of the central business district of Nairobi. It is one of the oldest estates in Nairobi”. The population is approximately 22,7072 residents based on the 2019 census report. Most of the population comprises youth aged between 18-35 years.3 The research focused on this age range because it is the most affected group by this problem of drug abuse.
