Image description

Two children carrying sacks are silhouetted with vultures as they walk over the summit of a garbage mountain where they scavenge for pickings March 28. Dozens of rubbish-picking children risk life their lives to look for recyclable materials at this dump in Nejalpa, 15 km from the capital San Salvador. A pilot scheme called "Recycling hopes" has been set up by two foreign NGO's to give 8 of the 1000 children of the dump education and health-care during their working day as their parents cannot afford to go without their contribution to the family. The children work in the morning collecting recyclable material for sale, and in the afternoon receive classes and health-care at the recycling centre and receive the minimum wage of US$150 a month each for taking part in the scheme.
