Millions of vermicelli noodles hang like delicate strands of hair as workers leave them to dry under the sun at a specialist factory in Bogura, Bangladesh. In one of the final stages of production, these thin noodles are carefully arranged and sun-dried, allowing the heat of the day to perfect their texture. Once fully dried, they are packaged and shipped across the country and beyond, bringing a taste of tradition to tables around the world.

This is a scene of installing an electric line. Such work is extremely risky and requires physical skill and focus. Workers are working at heights, using minimal safety equipment to complete the task. They use hooks and clamps to ensure the connection and stability of the wires. Challenges for the workers: Maintaining balance while working at heights is difficult. Adverse weather conditions (intense heat, rain, or wind) hinder their work. Often, there is a lack of adequate safety equipment. This work improves the quality of life in the area by increasing opportunities for lighting, education, and healthcare. Despite taking such risks, the workers labor from 8 AM to 5 PM daily for very low wages.
