Living in the slums is hard. People there have no comfortable homes, no jobs and a lot of free time. All these lead to misery and crime. To improve life in the slums means to demolish them completely. But this is too radical and costly. If this is not possible, improvements can start with finding jobs for the people who live in the slums. If they have work, they will have money to buy food, clothes and will finally rent better apartments to live in. Another way to improve slums is to repair the houses and to build better new houses. Providing opportunities for better education for the children from the slums can finally result in their leaving the slums and living happier life elsewhere.
