Finalist: Child power

The village of Harid is located in the Fayoum Governorate, which is famous for child labor, like the rest of the Fayoum villages, especially in agricultural crops such as cotton and wormwood. The area is famous for these crops that are grown in large areas, and these crops require a large number of labor, work in these crops is limited to children only because of the low wages that they receive, as if an adult works, he will receive 3 times the wages of one child. Children are also exploited and forced to work for long hours, as their work starts from sunrise until twelve noon, and children are forced to bear these conditions It is difficult because of their need and the need of their families for this work because the difficult living conditions, where some of them contribute to the expenses of the house and some other children work to save some money to buy new clothes and tools for school.

The project sheds light on the dreams of children that fade away in agricultural fields, and according to a 2021 UNICEF statistic, 112 million children around the world work in the agricultural sector.
