A whole family living in one room.  No floors.  Walls that don’t keep the wind or rain out.  No sanitation, no water, no electric.
Little or no education. It will be a big achievement if they obtain a grammar school education or can read.
How can we approach solving this problem? Can it be solved? It’s a big need, a big demand. Does it present a business opportunity? Can conventional businesses meet this need and solve the problem? A superficial analysis doesn’t look too good.
