🌍 What is World Homeless Day?
World Homeless Day is observed every year on October 10th. It was first marked in 2010 as a global effort to raise awareness about homelessness and to encourage local communities to respond to the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
The day serves three main purposes:
- Raising awareness of the issues homeless people face, including lack of shelter, food insecurity, poor health, and social isolation.
- Promoting local solutions, encouraging people to support charities and services that directly help homeless individuals in their area.
- Encouraging collaboration between governments, organisations, and individuals to create sustainable solutions for homelessness.
