Over 25% of children in Tanzania work on farms, construction sites and in the mines, simply to afford a single meal.
As child labourers, they’re open to exploitation. They’re paid less, they’re unashamedly abused and beaten, and in the worst cases, subject to abuse and human trafficking.
Meet 14-year-old Johanes, who was rescued by Kijana Kwanza at the start of the year. Watch the clip of his story and rescue.
You too can rescue a child from forced labour. Sponsor a child with Kijana Kwanza for £50/US$70 per month.
Over 40 children and young people are waiting for someone to care.
