T-Wash Shantytown: Most of Them Are Gone, Some Went Back To Haiti
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – It was back on August 1st, when these eviction notices were placed on homes in the unregulated community by the action task force.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – It was back on August 1st, when these eviction notices were placed on homes in the unregulated community by the action task force.
In the days followed, we spoke to some of the residents who say they would leave.
Fast forward to Tuesday, the majority have left and only a handful of residents remain. Kenel is one of them.
This would be the latest shantytown to be demolished, following several in the capital and Abaco and Eleuthera dating to last October.
As Kenel took me through some of the now abandoned homes, it painted the picture of how people lived there – cramped rooms, with no proper flooring, collapsed roofing, and improper bathroom facilities.
He says this impoverished style of living boils down to poor wages.
And like other shantytowns we’ve visited, residents claim they pay rent to Bahamian owners, an added cost to what they say is a hard lifestyle.
Many of them prepared to return to Haiti.
