Eliya is often called a garden city. But amidst its lush tea-clad
hills, plush hotels and flower-filled gardens are many pockets
of poor housing, where large families live in deplorable conditions.
Many of these homes are makeshift shacks, made of tin sheets
or cheap planks, protected by plastic sheets. When it rains,
water pours in from all sides and the inhabitants have little
protection.
