Slums are often overlooked and neglected areas within cities, where people live in extreme poverty and without access to basic services like clean water and sanitation. Mapping is an essential tool for understanding the extent and nature of these areas, and for developing effective strategies to address the challenges they pose.

By mapping slums, we can identify where they are located, how many people live there, and what their living conditions are like. This information can then be used to plan and implement interventions that improve the lives of slum dwellers, such as providing access to clean water and sanitation, improving housing conditions, and increasing access to education and healthcare.
