Providing Shelters to Homeless

Introduction

Thanking god for coming home enjoying a cup of coffee, teasing siblings, funning around with friends, spending times with parents, sharing pity issues of not having new dress to wear on Saturday night part, having warm and cozy bed to sleep and shedding cold winter near heater. What if all is this luxuries, comfort, coziness is taken away from us just in spilt seconds, and we are nowhere to go; no one to talk; no one to share; no one to belong to; no food to eat; being dependent on charity; no life to enjoy; no clothes to decide from what to wear today; and no place to sleep? There around round the world millions of people, who are deprived of everything, deprived of food, clothing and shelter. They do not know whom they belong to, where they come from, where they are heading.

There are people suffering because of economic conditions or natural disaster, and are coming on streets because they have lost all what they pose. These conditions are leading to the increase in the rate of crime, drugs intake, and suicides in the world. When a person cannot meet his or her basic needs, what are they left to, either kill themselves or snatch it. We all see the problems but never go towards the root cause of them nor do we try to find the symptoms of them. Helping them, providing them opportunities, rehabilitating them and supporting them are the only solution where we can eliminated the crime rate, suicides and people coming to streets, with every passing person has issues (www.justgive.org).
