Several child laborers who are engaged in hard work in various parts of Bamyan city complain of poverty.

These children are asking the government authorities to address their economic challenges.

Ali Jan, a child laborer, said: "My father is ill and cannot work. I am forced to work to cover my family's living expenses."

Laiq Salehi, a social activist, said: "If employment opportunities are provided for families, they will not be forced to send their children to do hard labor."

Meanwhile, local officials in Bamyan said they have provided educational opportunities for more than 300 orphaned children in the center and Yakawlang District Number One, and efforts continue to address the situation of other children.

Abdul Saboor Sighani, the spokesman for the Bamyan governor, told TOLOnews: "200 orphaned and homeless children who were on the streets have been gathered, and in addition, two other private organizations are also cooperating in the upbringing and education of these children."

Tamana, a student, said: "Here, we are learning religious studies and tailoring, and in the tailoring section, we sew different types of women's clothing, and we also do embroidery and needlework."

Zainab, another student, said: "I don't have a guardian, and it has been a year since I came to this place, and I have learned good religious and moral teachings."

In this center, free education in various fields, including school subjects, computer skills, English language, tailoring, and religious studies, is provided for more than 60 orphaned children.

Musa Jafari, the head of a private orphanage, said: "After these children return from school, they are given supplementary lessons, and in addition, girls who have been left out of school are taught tailoring."

This comes as many families in Bamyan are unable to meet their expenses due to the cold weather and long winter, and children help their families by doing hard and exhausting work to cover living costs
