Working hard. Spending less!
Her dream is simple yet powerful: to send one of her five siblings to school. To make this happen, she needs to save for a bike because the school is far away.
A resilient 13-year-old girl must produce 100,000 bricks every ten days. Even when it takes longer, her salary remains the same. In the spirit of World Day Against Child Labour, we share her inspiring story of working tirelessly in a brickyard once again.
