  • General view of one of the main streets of Ocho de Mayo, an informal settlement in the district of General Saint Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina, in January 2006. The neighborhood is named after the date in which the first settlers moved in, on the 8th of May of 1998. <br />
Today, Ocho de Mayo is home to about 1,500 families, many of them young. Of the 5,000 residents, 3,000 are under 16. About 65 percent of the population is Paraguayan. The rest are from nearby towns or elsewhere in Argentina. This neighborhood does not look very different from the villas miseria —slums or shantytowns— that ring the Argentine capital.

  • Mónica ‘Cori’ Jiménez is a single mother with five children. "I grew up alone, in the streets," she said. "I never stole anything and I never took drugs." She survives on government assistance and the community soup kitchen. "If it didn’t exist, I don’t know what would have happened to my life and to the lives of my children." <br />
She used to be a 'cartonera' in downtown Buenos Aires for 15 years. She used to take her children out to beg until, in an argument, her older daughter convinced her that it was wrong. Cori combed trash at the municipal trash dump for three months, but she says she stopped because police beat her often and once shot her in the leg with a rubber bullet. After a childhood of mistreatment, Cori hopes life in 8 de Mayo will offer something better to her kids. <br />
"I am 30 and I already want to die," she told a visitor, slowly and deliberately, with her eyes fixed on the ground. "I want my children to be someone in life."

  • Residents chat at the neighborhood's community center. <br />
People from Ocho de Mayo point out with pride the progress made since the settlement was created in1998. From the beginning, there was a deliberate planning. The first settlers left space for a community center. Each new family was given a plot of land arranged along wide streets. Planners did not want narrow alleys between houses as in Brazilian favelas. A commission, with a delegate representing each block, made rules. Nearby settlements now use 8 de Mayo as a model.
