Building Construction Labourers carrying granites at a site in Sierra Leone

At a construction site in Sierra Leone

"I have been doing this job for like three years now. This job is hard job and the pay is not too good and sometimes we get really sick as a result of the hard job. As you can see now we are carrying granites for the building work. You can also see how tedious this is. Well if we get accident at work we have to take care of ourselves except if we are lucky to get a good contractor, he will pay our hospital bill and incur every other cost. It is always a good time when we have a big construction or site work because the size of the job will determine the amount of money we earn; the bigger the job, the higher the pay. Well my aim is to earn huge sum and start a family and give my children the quality of life I never had. Thank you very much"
