Child Labour: Pupils haul
rocks to build Sand Dams
By Dan Kituku
A Makueni Community Based Organization may be exploiting school pupils in what seems like child labour by using them in the construction of sand dams along local rivers in mitigation to massive sand loss in the county.
The Utooni CBO mobilizes pupils and students in primary and secondary schools in respective sand dam construction sites to provide labour as part of community participation in return for a sand dam.
Community Participation component in local projects targets resources like cash or labour by the local community where locals volunteer their labour.
