In the heart of Johannesburg, mere minutes away from the city's central train station, an enigmatic sign looms: "MOTH." Although hundreds and thousands of people pass it every single day, most have no awareness of what goes on inside.

It is In fact a rudimentary shelter for over 400 people. One that is cramped, uncomfortable, unsanitary and, supposedly, temporary. The residents moved in six years ago, thinking they wouldn't be staying long. They arrived after being evicted from their old apartment blocks, torn down to make room for a gleaming shopping mall.

The group was told they would be given a short-term place to live, something that would last for, at most, one year. Six years later, nothing has happened. The living conditions grow worse, the residents more desperate and yet outside, life goes on.

Many of the over 400 residents that live in here don't have their own room. Instead they use curtains as walls.

Dineo Mokgwetsi is a single mother. Like many others here, she doesn't have a job, and her opportunities are very limited. She cannot even afford to send her 5 year old daughter Dineo to school.

Busi bathing her children in one of the shower booths in the building. There is only cold water, and many of the toilets in the rooms don't work, creating unsanitary conditions and smelling from human feces.

Moth children play on the balcony like skipping rope and singing songs. One of the songs says "The cockroach is in my house, the cockroach is in my house".

Butle Mohekse watches over a friend's child in the building. All of the women take care of the others children and make sure they are safe.

Even though the situation and environment is bad, the children is taken care of as much as possible. Mothers make sure the children are well fed and care for them, hoping they will have a better life when they grow up.

A resident in the building is ironing her clothes after washing them. She does it once a week, just to make sure she has some routine in her daily life.

The place is very crowded, and there is not much room and space for all. Some of the residents sleep in bunkbeds, others on old mattresses, like Rianda Ethel.

Magdalena Gadende wants to be a model and a dancer when she grows up.

This man lives in the basement in the building. He has no electricity, like many others down there.

Itumeleng is one of the many children in the building. The future for the children here is very limited, without any money it is hard for them to even attend school.
