Its All About SLUM.........





A slum is a place which forms a cheap way to dwell, mostly for the large stream of people going from rural areas to the large cities to find a job.
This migration movement is triggered by the evolvement of a global network which triggers large companies, which generate all kinds of activity to transportation nodes (places where man can easily travel to, preferably by use of different flows of transportation). This global network draws attention to cities, which are often well connected to such a network (airports, large train- and bus stations), which can be noticed both in the explosive way cities are expanding and the enormous economic boost which urban areas are given. This process has been initiated by the development of technology and accordingly, society.
It is roughly what can be described as the process man refers to as globalisation.
This process creates the stream of people to cities, who are not able to afford regular dwelling, and therefore live in slums, where life is reasonably cheap. One should be aware of the fact the dwellers of the slum (in the case of the larger ones) are still of great political and economic importance. For example; there are NGOs which are located in areas marked as a slum
Here a method to produce light using plastic bottle and sunlight

click on the link below for more information

we are trying to install this method in slum areas where homes tightly packed there are no windows . As a result the houses are extremely dark inside.This method name is 
PLASTIC BOTTLE LIGHT BULB. 

Solar Bottle Light is inexpensive,made from recyclable materials, and easy to assemble


We are doing a social work for slum people in Coimbatore. It is based on "LIGHT WITHOUT CURRENT". People in the slums have their homes tightly packed. There are no windows, and the only way for the sunrays reach in is if they couldn't find enough pieces of scrap metal/boards to seal the roof. Will you like such house? To be dark inside during the day? These people are living in houses where they cannot affordto install windows. As a result the houses are extremely dark inside. So we are trying to install a method of producing light using plastic bottle and water. This method name is PLASTIC BOTTEL LIGHT BULB. These ideas were brought to the women participating with the NGO Safe Passage, in the Zona 3, in Guatemala City. NGO has been in the area for over 10 years, I thank them for the opportunity of teaching this. For past 2 weeks we had started survey near GP. And we got good result. Imagine.. This is for the people who has less sanitary house. They live in the slum, they don't have money for electricity. So be wise to leave a comment, and appreciate other people who try to help another.
