"My main goal is to help others overcome social exclusion".

Nassim is an ex-drug user and outreach worker in Sudmand, Tajikistan.

"Due to my addiction, my life became unbearable. I failed university, lost my family's trust and left for Russia, where my addiction became even worse. I finally got help there and then decided to come back and try to get my life under control.

After seeing TFPA’s advertisement for outreach workers, I joined the organization and, since then, my life has changed quite a lot. I am very happy with my work. I am able to help and share my experience with other young people with drug problems.

Being an ex-drug addict means being an outcast of society. It is never easy to get the trust back form your family and friends.

My main goal is to help others to overcome social exclusion and show them ways of getting back to normal life."
