South African Shanty Towns
Here are some examples of Shanty towns in South Africa. As you can see, even though it's the richest part of Africa, there are still major poor areas.
My FMP will be about the people who migrate from central africa thinking they will get jobs and in Southern Africa to find that they will only land up in the shanty towns there.

Big City Slums
After thinking it through. It's really difficult to say what I'd like to do for my major project in so little time but I've come up with an idea I feel strongly about.
The slums that I've experienced in Africa aren't very focused on because they're located in the South where it's the richest part. Mainly west, east and central Africa are the focuses of charities and such. I'd like to get across to everyone that it's not only the Africans in villages that are experiencing problems but the shanty towns in the middle of big cities that are major problems too. They're high in crime, most of them carrying weapons. People never feel safe even driving passed the shanty towns because they sometimes just walk up to your car window and rob you at gun point. I'd like to show people that there are problems throughout Africa and not just in the center.
