N2  - The research by Save the Children in Sialkot District sheds light on child football stitchers' perspectives, revealing 81% work due to poverty, not hindering education but stemming from financial necessity. Halting their involvement would significantly impact family income. Women's transition to stitching centers poses economic challenges. Despite health risks, stitching is preferred over more hazardous work. Increasing adult wages and organizing community stitching units are recommended to preserve family income. Improving education and fostering local ownership of social protection initiatives are vital. The study urges collaboration among stakeholders to ensure sustainable improvements in children's welfare and industry competitiveness
