In pictures: Manila slum life

Jemma, a single mother, lives alongside the bridge in Tondo.

She and her four children live in a tiny room with no water, no electricity and no sanitation.

Jemma washes clothes to make a living. None of her children go to school and her 14-year-old daughter is already working.

"I sometimes get angry with myself because I cannot provide for my children," says Jemma, who starts to weep.
