Rotting garbage is piled adjacent to squatter's homes in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The trash is generated by a nearby market and is heaped just a few feet from the living quarters of squatters who pay roughly $20 per month rent for small shack-like shelters. Rent is paid to various landowners in return for squatting rights. Approximately 55 people, including many school-aged children too poor to attend, occupy this slum, located less than a block from Phnom Penh's main tourist strip.
