Behind the brightly-painted exterior of Jalousie ? one of Haiti?s largest slums ? lives a community struggling with a lack of sanitation, no running water, intermittent electricity and rivers of plastic waste. Conservative estimates suggest more than 80,000 now live in Jalousie - many moved here after 2010?s earthquake as the slum was miraculously spared the worst of the damage. But although life is often cramped, chaotic and challenging, residents manage to find dignity, hope and a sense of community, regardless of the challenges of poverty and oppression they face.
