The city of Addis Ababa has to experience a prevalent pace of real growth. This trend is somewhat influenced by the unrestrained development resulting from the evasion of informal settlements. As new buildings are implicit in the existing squatter settlements and vacant land, the number and scale of informal encampments in Addis Ababa has risen over time.

Besides, the rapid pace of Urbanization and the enthusiastic emotion in gaining of quality of employment service aggravate the prevalence of informal settlements. Consequently, the study has shown that the deteriorated hazardous health risks of inhabitants in the slum areas resulted from poor sanitation and improper handling of poor solid waste management in the study areas. The mismatch between their enthusiastic desire and their livelihood in the slum and squatter settlements enables residents to experience depression, suicide, drug abuse, interpersonal violence, and too much alcohol consummation.
