Child Labour in the Congo

Meet 2 year-old Sylvian and his mother. He spends long hours working in the hot sun beating rocks with a makeshift mallet just so he can eat. His mother sees no other way that her family can survive.

158 million children worldwide are engaged in some form of child labour. UNICEF is striving hard to ensure every child in the world is removed from situations like these. Help us stop child labour.
