Residents of Makoko community in Yaba, Lagos, have attracted the attention of a UK charity after a video exposed the hallowing condition of school kids at the slum settlement.

Makoko, which has reputation as one of the worst slum settlements in West Africa, is home to about 250,000 people most of whom live in difficult conditions.

The settlement, near the landmark Third Mainland Bridge on the Lagos Mainland, depicts the harsh condition of the urban poor in Lagos, Nigeria’s economic hub and most populous city.
