GREAT efforts to 'liberate' children from the worst form of child labour have started paying off as Plan International Tanzania in collaboration with other stakeholders enhanced withdrawal of 12,187 children from goldmines in Geita and Nyag’hwale districts in Geita Region.
Speaking during Child Labour Roundtable discussion in Dar es Salaam recently, Plan International Tanzania Country Director, Jorgen Haldorsen, mentioned low awareness on child rights and child protection, household poverty, inadequate capital and technology to small scale miners leading them to employ children among other driving factors complicating the situation.
