In Yelwa, Nigeria, a young individual operates a small-scale grinding machine outdoors. The person, dressed in a blue polo shirt and dark shorts, stands facing right, actively feeding material from a white container into the dark hopper of the operational machine using their right hand. The machine consists of a red and cream-colored internal combustion engine mounted on a rusted metal stand, connected to the grinding unit from which processed material is visible emerging. To the left, on a raised concrete platform, a black bucket with a partially open blue lid and a blue bucket are positioned. The ground consists of uneven reddish-brown dirt. In the background, a light-colored, textured wall is visible, with a patterned brown curtain to the left, indicating an entrance. A weathered wooden post stands vertically on the far right. A piece of dark green fabric lies on the ground near the post, and a coiled rope or wire is visible in the immediate foreground.
