Cité Soleil (Site Soley or Sun City) is an extremely poor (slum) area near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It is home to up to an estimated 400,000 Haitians who in unfortunate circumstances. It is the poorest, biggest and most dangerous of all neighborhoods in the western hemisphere of our Earth. The area has no sewers and has a poorly maintained open canal system that serves as it's sewage system. It does have a few hospitals, free electricity and two government schools. Gangs rule, rape, murder, kidnappings, looting and beatings are common. Clean drinking water isn't easily accessible, many (if not most) are unemployed, illiterate and have little hope to break out the slum. Most of the residents are children and very young adults. Imagine this all within a 2 hour flight or the sunny perfect coast of Florida.
