Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of cigarettes and tobacco? They are made from a plant called tobacco that grows in many parts of the world, including Malawi. Malawi is a small country in Africa that is known for growing a lot of tobacco.
Now, a lot of people in Malawi work in the tobacco industry. They grow, harvest, and sell tobacco to companies that make cigarettes and other tobacco products. This is how they make money and support their families.
But there is a problem with the tobacco industry in Malawi. Some people, especially children, are forced to work in the tobacco fields instead of going to school. This is not good because it can be dangerous and can prevent them from getting an education.
In addition, some tobacco workers are not paid very much and have to work long hours in difficult conditions. This is also not fair or safe for them.
So, while the tobacco industry in Malawi is important, there are some challenges that need to be addressed so that everyone can work safely and fairly.
