A Boy Riding An Adult Bicycle

Many children in Congo started working at a very early age to support the livelihoods of their families. In this photo, the little boy is delivering a tool from one place to another on a bicycle made for adults. There are no school days for him. As a result of many years of civil war, it is estimated that 5.4 million children in Congo have received no education at all.
