Le Dhobi-Gath, un vrai lieu de vie

Mumbai (Inde) - Les Dhobi-Wallahs passent en moyenne plus de 16 heures dans le Dhobi-Gath. Ils y travaillent, mangent, se lavent dans les lavoirs et dorment parfois sur place. En discutant avec eux on comprend que c’est leur univers, leur lieu de vie. Ils se sentent ici plus chez eux que dans leur logement, souvent exigu et insalubre.

 

The Dhobi-Gath, a real place to live

 

Mumbai (India) - Dhobi-Wallahs spend an average of over 16 hours in Dhobi-Gath. They work there, eat, wash in the laundries and sometimes sleep there. By talking with them we understand that it is their universe, their place of life. They feel more at home here than in their accommodation, which is often cramped and unsanitary.
