The Nehemiah Project is a Christian rehabilitation programme that works with men to overcome drug and alcohol addictions in the London area. What is distinctive about it, apart from its Christian ethos, is its incredible success rate.
“Only five per cent of the men that we’ve worked with over the last five years have reoffended, compared to 60 per cent in London,” said Lois Momoh, development director for Nehemiah, which is named after the biblical figure who rebuilt Jerusalem.
As part of its continued growth, a new house for residential rehabilitation sponsored by the British Association of the Sovereign Order of Malta was opened in Croydon on June 13.
