The soft rolling hills and green fields of Ndop, belie the silent tragedy that grips this small farming community, in the Northwest Province of Cameroon. Driven by extreme poverty and privation, many parents and guardians in this community have been lured into giving up their children, some as young as five to work in distant cities, enticed by false promises of an education, and income for the children. Without a strong system of law and order and far away from their families, these children face chronic abuse at the hands of those they serve, and endure their ordeals silently without recourse or release; a tragic scenario that victimizes the poor throughout rural Cameroon.
