Indonesia is one of the world´s most populous nations, and it´s economy is expected to grow by up to per cent this year.
High rises and expensive boutiques are a common sight in the capital city of Jakarta, but there are also millions of people living in slums.

The slums are growing as thousands migrate from Indonesia´s impoverished rural areas. And  they´re so crowded that in some cases you can find up to 15 people living in a small house.

FSRN´s Nathan Moore reads for our reporter Gabe Matthews, who visited one of Jakarta´s slums and sent us this report.
