   What about keeping the parallel structure with the first sentence and trying ‘another little girl’s opportunity’? Might flow a little more?

   How about “One man’s sweatshop is another child’s opportunity”

   or

   “One man’s sweatshop is another child’s treasure”

   The language is quite shocking… How can a sweatshop be a child’s treasure? It beats the dump.

   I think the gender was throwing this off. I’ve combined both of your suggestions and here’s what I’ve got:

   At the dump one person’s trash is another’s treasure. And in Cambodia, one person’s sweatshop is another’s opportunity.
