Working 14 hours a day, scavenging plastic, glass, metal etc. they put themselves at incredible health and safety risk and earn around 15p a day - barely a penny an hour. Their health frequently suffers from the rubbish dump fires. These children are exploited and abused in the extreme - the victims of dire poverty.

Over one thousand of these kids struggle to survive on the notorious Stung Meanchey municipal rubbish dump situated on the outskirts of Cambodia’s capital city Phnom Penh. By any measurement, Cambodia’s ‘Rubbish Dump Children’ rank as some of the most vulnerable and needy children on earth.

In Turkey, I saw a 5 year old boy walking around with a set of bathroom scales offering to weigh you for 1 Lira (about 35p) because they have to doo everything in their power in these countries to survive & eat. Especially during winter
