On: I got hired at a Bangladesh sweatshop. Meet my 9-year-old boss [video]

How about a Watsi for children (and their families) that have to work in sweatshops to make ends meet? Anyone interested in exploring this further?

Some challenges:

- Verifying the children that you support through the Watsi-type program already work in this environment (or will soon have to) as a necessity to economically support their families.

- Ensuring that, once you donate money, the children are no longer working in this environment and instead are enrolled in school.

- Other potential pitfalls?

Watsi has too much overhead per child to make a difference on this level I think.

Why not do what the entire world should be doing in the first place? Pay children to go to school.

This way you remove the overhead of a campaign for every single child, and make sure they are going to school at the same time.
