What can be done ?

Children often work with their parents to cover basic needs.

ECLT helps families

learn new job skills
and better manage their finances.

A third of children involved in child labour do not attend school.

ECLT helps children

go to school
and stay away from child labour.

Farms can be dangerous places to work, especially for young workers.

ECLT trains farmers and young people

on occupational health and safety
and understanding age-appropriate tasks.

No child should work in a field
at the expense of his or her

education

health

safety, and future.

Since 2011, ECLT has supported over

children, farmers, and families

in the fight against child labour.

But, there is still more to be done.
