Many children in
Africa have to work or their families will starve.
Often they work long hours alongside their parents.
Etienne Babila survived two years of working in the
cocoa plantations of Cameroon, but he is one of the
lucky few. He and his family received help from the
International Labour organisation to help get
Etienne out of work and back to school. There are
estimates of up to a quarter of a million children
being used in dangerous exploitative labour across
West Africa, this removes a child's right to an
education and an adult's right to work. Child Labour
meets Etienne as he tells NGO worker, Julius Fonboh
about the ordeals he went through, and what life
holds for him and his family now he is away from the
fields and his parents have been helped to start
their own business.
