Sometimes when we hear about children being forced into exploitative labour due to poverty, their plights might seem abstract to us.


World Vision Vlogger Richenda recently went on a trip to visit some of World Vision’s work in India, a country where 12.1 million children work in hazardous conditions. There, she met 14-year-old Sarath, who was able to tell her firsthand what it’s like to have no other choice. Watch the following video to hear Sarath’s story.
