What is one resource that is plenty in the slums? I would say manual labour. Therefore a business that involves Manual labor would be viable.

For intance supplying contruction sites or other businesses that require a number of laborers with manual labour man-hours. You could have a van and drive a number of people to specific sites for work daily, have the laborers registered with you and you can become a one stop shop for supplying reliable laborers to companies needing manual labor.

Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Applause KUMIA @Jinomoja Can you recite the dictionary definition of peruse from memory? Do you have the etymology of short-lived stored in the recesses of your brain, available at a moment’s notice for impromptu punctuation lesson purposes? Are you an expert on the difference between rebut and refute? If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, then you may just be a language bully.
