“At first our partners in Ethiopia and West-Africa did not think much of the feasibility of the child labour free zone approach in Africa. They believed child labour was such
a deep-rooted and ‘normal’ practice, that it would be too difficult to abolish it completely. The exchange visits really lit a spark. Once they had travelled to India to see how committed people managed to abandon child labour in their communities, they started to think: we can do this too. But in the African way, of course.“
