Who We Are The purpose of PREDHO is to promote the recognition and acceptance of drug trafficking, DSA, HIV/AIDs and Poverty among the most marginalized populations and mobilize resources, communities, the government and development players in the fight and campaign against the above while at the same time building capacities of individuals, organizations and groups to effectively act as campaigns agents on the above.
