India - Delhi - Slum Living

A young Indian child stands in the doorway of her shack dwelling in Tehkhand Slum, Delhi, India. Eight family members all live in the same small one room. Indian slums are characterized with substandard housing, squalor and lacking in security. They are home to increasing numbers of people and families who are usually very poor or socially disadvantaged. Most slums lack clean water, sanitation and other basic services, and as such they pose a serious threat to public health as infectious diseases are able to spread easily, such as Tuberculosis (TB) and cholera.
