Ghetto Crisis: A powerful performance against drug abuse and social issues
Youth Economic and Social Empowerment (YESE), in collaboration with Zillas Art Productions, recently staged a powerful play titled “Ghetto Crisis.” This impactful performance shed light on critical issues such as drug abuse, crime, the effects of abortion, and sexual violence, particularly targeting high-school students.

The play, performed by talented young actors from the Dandora community, aimed to educate and inspire the youth about the dangers of these pressing social problems. Through thought-provoking scenes and compelling storytelling, “Ghetto Crisis” effectively conveyed the consequences of harmful choices and the importance of making informed decisions.
One of the key objectives of the play was to provide a platform for emerging artists to showcase their skills.

The partnership between YESE and Zillas Art Productions has been instrumental in bringing “Ghetto Crisis” to life. Their shared commitment to youth empowerment and social change has resulted in a powerful and impactful performance that resonated with the audience.
