Nightline Reports on CARE's Work Combating Child Mine Labor

(Rick Perera/CARE 2005)

Few young lives are as hard as those of the child miners of Potosi, Bolivia, where children as young as 10 toil under extremely dangerous conditions.

CARE works to combat hazardous child labor by bringing educational opportunity and hope to the children of Potosi – and empowering their mothers, many of them widows.

ABC News Nightline recently traveled to Bolivia to document child mine labor and CARE's work against it. The story features an interview with CARE child labor expert John Trew.
