Homeless

“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” - Proverbs 22:9

Reaching Forward Ministries

RFM, a Service Oriented Organization in India, is committed to assisting homeless individuals by distributing food packets, clothes, and blankets three times a week from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. They express deep gratitude to their volunteers and emphasize the meaningful impact of even a single act of kindness. Urging continued support for the homeless, RFM India addresses the significant issue of homelessness in the country.

According to the Census of India 2011, over 1.7 million people are homeless, with most living in inadequate shelters or on the streets due to the lack of available shelters. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this issue, leading to a surge in homelessness due to job losses and increased poverty, highlighting the critical need for support for the homeless.

"Poverty, unemployment, and natural disasters such as floods and droughts are the main causes of homelessness in India, according to a report by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). Approximately 32% of Indian households live below the poverty line, and 5% are led by unemployed individuals. These natural disasters displace thousands. Addressing homelessness in India should prioritize efforts to tackle poverty, unemployment, and provide support to those affected by natural disasters.

As challenging as it may be to provide shelter and basic necessities due to the scale of the issue, collective efforts can help reduce, if not eliminate, homelessness in India. Potential actions to address this issue include donating to organizations like RFM India, volunteering time, raising awareness, and providing necessities to homeless individuals.
