    • People living in slum area does not have proper access to good hygiene and education

    • The living environment is not good

The final decision with lecturer : IDEA 2

In the end, I decided to go on idea 2 - propose a shelter for the homeless.

Comment given by lecturer:

  • Keep in mind that is shelter/ center is not to keep them for a long time

  • Add programs for them to learn to self sustain themself once they leave the shelter/center

  • Research on the reason why they have a job, but don't have a place to stay
