Farming a future free of child labour through Tuai Cerita initiative


KOTA KINABALU: Lena (not her real name) has only just tied the knot, but her vision for the future already stretches far ahead, especially when it comes to her future children.

“I want them to be free to choose their own path. Not everyone is born to be an engineer or a scientist. If my children choose to work on farms or plantations, I won’t stop them. But education must come first,” says the 29-year-old who comes from a small village in Telupid.
