Boy earns 1 cent a goat in slaughter trade

Eight year old Boku and his brother Muhammed have been experiencing child labor in Kenya. Although, it is illegal Boku describes that there are many kids having to sweep and clean up after a goat slaughterhouse while being paid less than one cent US equivalency. He also added that most of the time once work is over that the boss or older workers just rob him of his earnings. Charges have not been made because Kenya police do not target businesses that benefit the community.
