Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In an open dry field in the outskirt of the town, a group of women work with no protection on a huge dumping ground of broken glass. The business at the beginning was based on color glass separation: white, brown and green were exported to a Ghana stransformation factory, but after the glass price fall the new (even poorer) business is to collect iron caps.
