New Life Addiction Recovery
New Life is Morning Star’s addiction recovery program that assists both men and women. Today, there are 1.6 million addicts living in cities across Afghanistan and another 3 million struggling for survival in the countryside. New Life is serving those in this desperate need.
The New Life Addiction Recovery program teaches self-discipline and responsibility through exercise, counseling sessions, and vocational skills. Part of the vocational skills training includes making products like pizzas, furniture, and knives to train the men in various microenterprises.
