Society for Promotion of Youth & Masses (SPYM)

Society for Promotion of Youth & Masses

SPYM is a Development oriented Non-profit agency, working towards the prevention of drug abuse & STD/HIV/AIDS AND Promotion of reproductive health

Our mission statement is very simple and straight forward....
"To enable people to maximize their potential, increase their abilities and to enhance human dignity by providing quality services within available resources"

Objectives:
The areas in which programs and activities are designed with our mission in mind are as follows:

Drug Abuse:
SPYM runs three drug de-addiction centers called "Mashwara" which offers services of competent professionals, committed to giving both physical and psychological support in the treatment of drug addicts and alcoholics.

Community Development:
SPYM is involved in community development programmes aimed at helping men and women to form Self Help Groups, increase female literacy, develop micro enterprise programmes, organize gender sensitization and income generation projects. Villagers are also trained in health and hygiene in order to lead a healthier and happier life.

HIV/AIDS awareness:
To prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among various target groups such as women, youth, truck drivers, migrant laborers and drug users through public awareness campaigns, poster exhibitions, street plays and rallies as well as many other outreach activities.

Human Rights and HIV/AIDS work:
The fear and ignorance surrounding the disease have given rise to severe discrimination and prejudice against people living with HIV/AIDS. To address this issue SPYM has been actively involved in human rights activities and lobbying for these rights. SPYM has developed a documentation center for the use of staff members working in the community.
