Nobsin, Burkina Faso - 13 May 2014: sat on the edge of a 25 meters mine shaft, a young man readies his forehead torch as he prepares to descend to dig for gold. In the around 700-800 artisanal sites around the country, there’s no health and safety, no hard hats or harnesses, no protective masks, no lights and no decent ventilation system.
