International Children's Day in Pakistan - Part II

Two boys carry garbage sacks as they search for recyclable goods in a street. Majority of the nation's children cannot afford to go to school and instead start working at an early age to earn money for themselves and their families.


A young girl along with her father beg for their livelihood at a roadside.

As the world observes International Children's Day, a young boy works as a mechanic and repairs a motorcycle.

Young girl sells stickers for her livelihood at a main intersection in Islamabad. Although the government says it is fully aware of its responsibilities in protecting the rights of children and providing them better facilities of life, majority of Pakistan's children don't even have basic education.
