More than 1600 million people in the world today live in conditions which have an adverse effect on their health.

This is almost one third of the world's population.

Reasons vary from country to country.

Some causes -

in many parts of the world

the drift of population to overcrowded cities

the need for people to leave their homes in times of war

in Britain

40% of the 'homeless' have family or friends no longer willing to accommodate them

The overall reason is poverty.

Millions lack the basic resources needed to make a decent home.

The number is growing.
