Indiranagar Street
Slums such as Indiranagar in the Indian state of Goa exist all over India and indeed the world. One in eight people globally lives in slums. The United Nations Habitat program defines slums as informal settlements that lack one or more of the following five conditions: access to clean water, access to sanitation, sufficient living area that is not overcrowded, durable housing and secure tenure. Because many slums are not officially recognised by governments they have no access to city services such as garbage collection and sanitation or water and electricity supply. Despite crippling poverty, slums often have thriving informal economies that turn over billions of dollars annually.

Village Childhood

Disadvantaged populations (such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, refugees, indigenous populations, etc) face significant challenges, including high poverty incidence, low human development indicators, malnutrition, and limited access to quality education and healthcare.

Walk with Me
Village populations globally, including the people of Anegundi in Karnataka, India, struggle with significant disadvantage and inequality, primarily characterized by higher rates of poverty, limited access to essential services(healthcare, education, sanitation, electricity), and fewer economic opportunities compared to urban areas. Villages in the Global South typically have lower standards of living, poorer infrastructure, and fewer social services compared to those in developed countries, increasing inequality even more.
