Many people are tricked into living in shanty towns as they come from different cities in hope of finding a job .Unfortunatly when they arrive they see there are people in worse off conditions then them .They dont have enough money to go back home as they have used it all to get to the shanty towns.The only way to stay alive is if they stay in the shanty towns and find some possibility of work.
