Today over a billion people around the world live in slums and an estimated three billion more will be without decent housing by the year 2030. That is one third of the people on the globe.

In Argentina alone an estimated 18 million people of the 38 million total population live today below the poverty line.  
In Buenos Aires almost one third of the population are considered to live below this line.

Todos Juntos is a non profit organization registered in Argentina and was set up with the goal to improve the daily living conditions of some of the most impoverished families living in the slums in and around the city of Buenos Aires.

Known locally as the “villas miserias” or misery towns these sprawling city slums are home to thousands of families living in extremely precarious conditions in makeshift homes often without proper sanitation, electricity or running water. Most of these families do not have the same opportunities in terms of education and access to healthcare.

Within these growing squatter communities there often exists a climate of misery, lawlessness and criminality and children growing up in these neighbourhoods are exposed daily to drugs, violence, alcohol, crime and, unfortunately, hunger.
These are the children Todos Juntos works with.
