Everyday these young boys go to the markets, working 10-12 hours daily, hauling goods for buyers of products. The loads they carry are often bigger, and in most instances, heavier than them.

They may earn around ₦ 2,000 a day. $5.15 USD for 12 hours. ₦500 is subtracted from their profits for the wheelbarrow rental.

The money they earn is given to their family, if they are fortunate to have a family, or it is used for them alone as they are homeless.

There are many older men doing this same kind of labour because they never had the opportunity to go to school.
