A good start to fixing the poverty is if companies making obscene amounts of money from their labor start fairly paying people in these areas.

🤣… sorry, but since when have any companies paid fairly in any areas?

That is why I’m buying chocolate made in Africa, rather than chocolate made from beans from Africa. That way the value is generated there and not here.

Does it affect the kids?

Because, being from Africa, they are immune to abusing these kids? They can still source from these farms, no matter where your money ends up.

It’s not about child abuse, it’s about not making enough money so they need their children to help out. If they get a fair salary, they don’t need to exploit their kids for labor.
