In the Bolivian mining city of Potosí and the surrounding mining centres more than 6.500 children have to work in unbearable conditions. They perform very hard jobs underground – carrying material, loading tippers or engraving holes for explosives, working up to 10 hours a day. To support these children, Kindernothilfe sponsors three projects in the city, situated at 4000 meters above sea level, supporting 800 girls and boys and their families.
