| Why YouthBUILD |
|
The United Nations estimates that more than 500 million people in the Asia-Pacific region live in slums, representing more than half of the world’s slum dwellers.
The government of India estimates that the housing deficit in India is nearly 40 million – that means, nearly 200 million Indians have no place to call home.
Moreover, more than 60 percent of India’s estimated 180 million dwellings are temporary or in a dilapidated condition. |
