Ending child labour among cotton growing communities in Mali
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 15/04/2022

Mali is the second-biggest cotton producer in Africa. 40% of its rural population depends on cotton. Many families involved in cotton production experience extreme poverty and have to rely on their children as a workforce to survive. Child labour is work that is inappropriate for children’s age or harms their education, health, safety or morals. 
In Mali, the CLEAR Cotton project promotes income diversification and access to microfinance for 500 vulnerable families to reduce their dependency on child labour.
