Step inside Nigeria’s cocoa-growing communities through this immersive virtual reality film and hear directly from young women whose childhoods were shaped by hazardous child labour and tough daily realities. Blessing and Divine share their journeys from working long hours in cocoa fields and missing out on school, to gaining new skills, confidence, and income through community support and training. Their stories show both the hidden cost behind cocoa production and the power of opportunity when girls and youth are given access to learning and decent work pathways. Produced under the ACCEL Africa project, this film highlights how community action, skills training, and partnership can help prevent child labour and open new futures for young people. Watch in VR for the full experience and meet the voices behind the change. This video is best watched in 4K for quality reasons. #EndChildLabour #DecentWork #YouthSkills #Nigeria #Cocoa
