Committe: International Labour of Organization. Topic: child labour. Country: Republic of Angola.

Angola thinks is a very big problem child labour, because children don’t go to the school so in the future they don’t have a very good job so the economy and the way of live of Angolans did not improve. Also children very young works in very hard jobs for example children of six years transporting the minerals of the mines or look after the livestock. Many fathers of this children force them to work because is necessary for the economy of the family.

Child labour is a big problem in many countries developed or undeveloped. In Angola because of the wars that lasted 30 years many children are illiterate. Many schools are destroy because of the wars and the goverment don´t have money to build new schools. Also many teachers are death or exiled so is very dificult to study.

In Africa are the most poor counties is comun see children saling somethigs they have or cleaning cars at the street. Many fathers don´t have money to pay the books or the transport to go to school so they decided that her children have to work with us going to mines, looking for the livestock, fising or agriculture. This not benefit the children, because if they work out of their houses they pay them ten times less tan an adult. Unfortunately many children get money by prostitution or drug distribution.

The goverment is doing the best to gives services to every one. They want to give to the population money for medicines, potable water, construction and to the maintenance of the children.

The 81,6% of the childrens from 15 years are working every day. The 59,9 of the children from 5 years are working every day with here fathers or at street. Of this data the 49,5 of the boys work and the 50,5 of the girls work. The 70% oh the children population are poor so the goverment dont give to them so much help. Also because many children are not registered where they live they can not give them help.

Many ONG want to help this poor children one is coopera that with the slogan "Kindle your solidarity" this consist of that students of 15 cities make an effort and when they study one hour this is transform in one euro. All this money go to the school Kudilanga Ni Kudizola in Angola and this is a help for the children of this school to have good conditions to study. And when a famili is doubt by choose who is going to go to school the most probably is that the boy go to school and the girls stay at home to work.

"For a happy childhood" this is wath its say many people that is making posible in a fundation. This its said by Rosa Ortega.

"The education is the answer about the child labour" this is said 12 June in the world day of child labour. Also in this day Juan Somavia make a clarification: "For many children in the world, particularly for the poor families, the right for the education continous very bad, very faraway of the espectations that wants the govern. More than 70 millions of children in the world dont go to the school."
