To document the lives of child laborers -- showing the real people behind the statistics.

A team of 11 photographers (inspired by an 11-photographer team that documented United States poverty during the Great Depression) will compile photo essays on individual children in 11 countries. Founder Julia Dean, a Los Angeles photographer, hopes the photo essays will broaden understanding of child labor and inspire action.The photo essays will be part of a traveling exhibit, will be published in a book, and will become part of high school curriculum materials.
