Cotton is one of the most important crops in Burkina Faso, generating the largest export earnings. Cotton production is heavily dependent on natural resources and labour, including child labour. Child labour is work that is inappropriate for children’s age or harms their education, health, safety or morals. In Burkina Faso, over 40% of children aged 5 and 14 are working children.

In Burkina Faso, through awareness-raising and income-generating activities, the CLEAR Cotton project is allowing farmers to invest in qualified adult labour and send their children to school.
