Sierra Leone, Koidu. August 2008. Mani Lebbie (left) and members of his family, washing second hand gravel that the rain washed out of concession of Koidu Holdings; little water hole under a palm tree in the middle of a family owned rice field. Normally these workers work for two bowls of rice. In Kono District, diamond mining town of Koidu, artisanal mining takes place in the mud/gravel pits that surround the town to the north, south and west. Koidus "diamond-diggers" are mostly freelance workers who are paid a subsistence wage. At least 13 million people worldwide from over 30 developing countries engage in artisanal and small-scale mining.
