Little Scale (Lahore, Pakistan, 2006)

Waseed is an 11-year-old Pathan boy from Peshawar who survives on Lahore streets by offering weighing service to passers-by. From every customers on his little weight scale, he earns Rs2. Pakistan is among world’s top in term of number of children living on streets, and young boys like Waseed are vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse.
