It is estimated that 150 million people are homeless worldwide.[1] Habitat for Humanity estimated in 2015 that 1.6 billion people around the world live in “inadequate shelter”.[2]
This is a list of countries (not all 195) by the homeless population present on any given night. Different countries often use different definitions of homelessness. It can be defined by living in a shelter, being in a transitional phase of housing and living in a place not fit for human habitation. The numbers do not take into account chronic and transitional homelessness, making direct comparisons of numbers complicated.[3]
In first world countries like the UK, Europe and USA, there are multiple causes of homelessness. In these countries Local Authorities and Central Government Tax Penalties and Fines, give Government the powers to take people’s only main asset from them (their home) and throw them on the street. Some countries have passed laws to offer a short period of just 8 weeks for the Local Council to provide alternative accommodation, but in reality those laws are often omitted or hidden from the victims of Government debt collectors many of whom seem to take a perverse sense of pleasure seeing others suffer.
Governments around the world further hamper recovering from homelessness by refusing to allow people that are homeless to open bank accounts or to collect emergency unemployment or job seekers relief. Homelessness therefore is not a problem unique to third world countries and can be devastating to a persons state of mental health.

Far worse is that once made homeless the poor are prayed upon by the evil. Those in power or with money can beat or even kill the poor with suffering little chance of receiving justice. In Asian countries orphans and homeless or desperately poor people are often tricked into applying for overseas jobs, sadly never to be seen again, as they are murdered and their body parts sold to an evil underworld of ruthless medical practitioners who care more about their bank balances and luxurious lifestyles than they do about the lives of other people.
Women come in for special treatment – if they are physically attractive they are forced and drugged to perform sex acts for paying clients. In many countries of the world girls and women are treated as possessions and are treated as having less worth than men. In South America’s Mexico, women often simply “disappear”
Even in America orphans have been slaughtered and abused, whilst Canadian religious leaders of orphanages decided to carry out ethnic cleansing of its own.
Honduras currently hold the worlds worst reputation for its treatment of women.
We plan to help people facing financial difficulties by providing loans, or legal assistance which is almost always denied to the poor who find themselves at court with little or no knowledge of the hearing which they are facing. Judges often have no sympathy for those who try to represent themselves and the Court Service and Central Governments deliberately deny any legal aid to those whose assets have been transferred into the hands of the “Trustee in Bankruptcy”. Sadly there exists a profitable industry of human parasites that feed off the possessions of the poor and in whose interest it is to profit from their downfall! Hence quality legal aid is almost impossible to find for those facing an order for the possession of their home and assets!
