Happyland is in Tondo, Manila. Father Severin tells of narrow paths, little room to live, and people who earn money from things that have been thrown away.

What others throw away

What others throw away is a source of income for some families. They collect and sort what can still be used.

02

Living in a cramped space

Cooking, sleeping, sitting together: all of this often has to fit into a single small room.

03

Paths through the neighborhood

Narrow, uneven paths run between the houses. Father Severin describes what everyday life looks like there.
