I chose homelessness because this is one of the massive issues that both individuals and groups within society all around the globe suffer from. By making a small positive impact within our community can help them realise that 'there's always a light at the end of the tunnel'. Three other people I have paired up with are Emmanuel, Lina and Shakira. We formed a group together because we all have the same idea on what we would focus on and how we will take action to try and make a small difference. We named our group 'Seekers', meaning to find a way to solve an issue.
We then got given some questions to answer about our project:
Who is affected? - People who are unemployed and not accepted into society just for being themselves and just people with a low income.
What are the issues? - The issue is that some people who are either unemployed or earn a low income can't provide themselves or family with the necessary needs like food/ water, housing /shelter, health care etc.
When did this start and how is it progressed? - Homelessness has been a major issue for centuries and continues to be an issue today. About 1.6 people lack sufficient housing
Where is this happening? - This is happening worldwide
Why is this happening? - This is happening because of war, poverty, mental health problems, drug issues, physical health issues and domestic violence.
