Impact 

Peru?s situation is delicate, because it is a high-risk country in the area of drug consumption. The Drug Prevention Programme based on Living Values seeks, with the support of teachers and parents, to protect children in this regard. The Programme has been having a very important impact on educators who have participated in it. Motivated educators who have changed their point of view continue to use this programme with parents because of the positive results they are seeing.
