BEKASI DUMP
BEKASI, INDONESIA
A toddler screams for her mother who is scavenging at dump for food and things to sell. With unemployment in late 90s reaching 40% in Indonesia, tens of thousands of people were forced to relocate to the countries dumps where they had to scavenge to survive. The Bekasi Dump is the largest in Indonesia and entire families here can expect to earn $70$10 US per week. The children and adults live at the dump in makeshift shelters assembled from scraps of garbage and there is constant danger of getting killed by a bulldozer, falling through the trash and not being able to get out, or being burned by smoldering garbage.
