India's Undisputed Economic Powerhouse!
Mumbai's urban slums are home to millions who contribute significantly to the city’s economy yet face persistent poverty and inadequate living conditions. Lack of access to basics like clean water, sanitation, healthcare, education, and sustainable livelihoods keeps them trapped in a cycle of marginalization.
THE URBAN POOR - Mumbai's Most Valuable (and Vulnerable) Asset
- 12.5 million workers, with a 72% workforce participation rate (vs. India's 55%),
- Including 5 million informal workers who form the Backbone of key sectors, are fuelling this growth.
Can you imagine a Mumbai without them? And yet......
Mumbai cannot grow unless we grow together!
