VOICED: Exploiting children in Peru

In a neighborhood on the fringe of L2000, children as young as four are employed in brickmaking. A nonprofit organization has been working for ten years to get these children into school through a project called 'Child Laborers Get Their Rights.' Despite the challenges of persuading parents, who rely on their children's income from brickmaking, some families are choosing education over immediate financial gain. The program ensures children spend several hours in class and receive additional tutoring, although it makes for long days. The economic necessity of child labor in brickmaking remains a significant barrier to education.
