Life in an Indian Slum

Prachee Sinha, an M.A. Candidate in Sustainable International Development at the Heller School, is currently doing her practicum in Lucknow, India.  Sinha witnessed firsthand the rampant urban poverty of the city, and hopes that these photos will both inform people about this devastation and encourage them to take action.  In her words: “One is here to learn from the people who would not survive without the resilience and creativity they possess”.  Read her original blog post, India’s Forgotten People, for more information.
