Workers use moulds to shape rectangular cubes out of clay to dry under the sun before those are baked inside kilns to be hardened into bricks. These brickworks in Sanyashgachha village of Jashore’s Keshabpur upazila pay wages of Tk 250 per 1,000 bricks and a worker can end up making anywhere from 1,500 to 1,800 in a day.
