Carpet Factory Workers Other research was also conducted with children who were formerly employed in carpet factories, but who had been removed from such employment and placed in shelters by a UNICEF-funded effort to provide alternate livelihoods to such children. The shelter was also involved in both formal and non-formal education and they were willing to include this research in their ongoing programmes with the children. Here, no cameras were distributed, but the children were asked to write stories about themselves. The outcome was a variety of moving accounts about the children’s daily lives, their experiences while at the carpet factories, their families and their backgrounds. All these accounts have been translated from the original Nepali, the language in which the interviews were conducted, and are rendered here with minimal alterations.
