Where the People Live


Dec 14-18
Dateline: Dharavi Slum
ABOVE PHOTO: A typical back alley where people live. Most people have electricity oftentimes taping off of the main grid.
All cities in India are crowed but not like the Dharavi Slum in Mumbia. The area is filled with an amazing maze of back alley lanes oftentimes too narrow for people to walk side-by-side. It's in these back alleys that most people live in a room each
about 300 to 400 square feet where typically 15 people (two families) share the space. A family earns about 1100 rupees a month (~$40 a month).
