for the plant. ah, ah, nice on the streets. over the past years, the number of unhealthy people in turkey has risen, shalt play. in a stumble, volunteers the fighting to provide at least the bare minimum banished authority. if i don't do it, he well. i used to live on the streets to you about the doctor and the government. that what government did made me laughs in turkey and housed people can expect little help from the states. often volunteers of their last hope in my theory, which of them doing good for others is very important to me for router. but even if

it's just handing out c flu, islam teaches us to treat people with kind bass and charity. i got it the most good at on cognition. ah, ah, this old postal track has become mister fuzzy commands mo bile kitchen. the 31 year old is a devout muslim and associates just specialized in poverty and homelessness. ah, but it must group endlessness, not only means not having a roof of your head. wonder if it's an entirely different way of life. it's accompanied by social, marginalization and loneliness, that you can't simply talk to other people about your problem. so let's move to trouble de la la la who you really live jesus, that richard says,

all the food is donated. 7 days a week must have her picks. it up from a canteen assemble he never knows what will be on the menu that day. his father founded the organisation some 10 years ago. it's called ashanna, which is turkish for soup kitchen. to day, only the found his son is on the road. he's running late, the traffic in istanbul has held him up, knowing that so many people are waiting for him, makes him nervous. good are low mother, father gets gums once i arrived later than usual. an unhealthy gentleman approached me and told me that the food who brought was the only meal he cat each day. he asked us to never be light again that we are may or to least warn him if we were going to be sure to have it. it really shook him up with generous mental excess

return. the food is distributed in the inner courtyard of a mosque in the fattest district across streets nice the city home, which is just as uninvolved as the state itself. as must have her pulls up, there seems to be trouble once again as so often nightly, turkish and house people and migrant on house people have got into an argument or oliver could figure here. you should see those 2 over there. not only does it from the not on tell me, i'm not supposed to give them any food to load. they need to go to the very back of the line that they've been arguing for over half an hour, which is what i mean. i'm like, it's just to man from god. can you deal with them yourselves? what do you want me to do? i love everyone here group some 200 people wait here every evening. more and more refugees are among them. in

turkey, sentiments towards migrants have increasingly solid, as many believe they are being favored over the local population. but mister fer doesn't care who comes here or why i was a little bit. could i please have you are noodles? sure. no problem and palmer on your home, it are through the controller. sorry, it's not arranged nicely, but the food is very tasty. thank you. i must have her tells us that poverty is one of the largest drivers of homelessness here, drugs and alcohol and less of a problem than in western europe. today honda has come to help he's been living on the streets for years and has volunteered here for quite

some time. this shows i can help out because i too am affected by homelessness it and i want to do something good for the community that keeps me busy. and i hope it will help me find my way by surrounding me with good people and teach me to learn from my mistakes. so my love, you got the full result. the little girl looks good, hums or has made plenty of mistakes to learn from. as he'll tell us later, for to day he and mister for a finishing up. it's time to move on to the next district where more are waiting for a warm meal. when i go with a

stumble, the city that straddles 2 continents, tourists appreciate its beauty and liveliness. but in the past years, poverty has been on the rise, exacerbated by economic crises, and a growing number of migrants around 18000000 people live here. and there are no where near enough jobs to go around. it's a slippery slope from unemployment to homelessness. and here on the bus for us, it's easy to lose once footing. and the government refuses to accept responsibility . i sure experienced this 1st hand raised in berlin. she was a young woman when she came to turkey, where her husband forced her into prostitution. she made it house, but she had to sleep on the streets. uh huh.

in the district of bay allen, she now runs a little cafe and housed people can get a free meal. here i shall see. this is her life's work. almost every one here knows ayesha, whether from her time's in need or now as a helper, very impressed. come on, just one more picture. the shops closed today, don't go back then. nobody was that to help her. she still dealing with the wounds that inflicted them back then i couldn't find any food each other was nobody i could talk to and i had to hide the fact that i didn't have a home to be open with you. i have to do things like where the same underwear for 38 days in a row. hello. to day. she's meeting schuler a volunteer at the cafe, the to a going to buy groceries for the week. that heading towards the market in the

district of tyler bussey. it's as simple part of town with mostly low income households. i should comes here to shop because the price is lower than at the supermarket. oh hi. how are you today? can i please have 5 your past or what other channels do you have a thin, flat bread. that's the foundation of many turkish dishes. but today's price is takeisha back on phone call. well, not at the beginning of the corona virus pandemic was one kilogram with 5 pieces of bread cost $8.00 laira. now 5 piece is cost $15.00, narrow the iraq. that's quite them aka. as a toilet in the past, mom, this price is in turkey, have shot up. meanwhile, the turkish lira has become weaker and weaker. in these circumstances,

many haven't been able to afford food and rent. i don't want to that, you know, it reminds i sure of the time she spent on the streets, she would often go to market and gather leftovers from the ground. will search garbage cans for whatever was still edible. my bill, her 2 by make the i 8 old bread thrown away at burger king or mcdonalds, or left next to the ash been at the hospital. and yeah, that's what i survived on. i'd say for about 4 and a half months, almost finished the leftovers that you didn't want that you thought didn't taste good, but that's what i age. his lift up the service because the fact that prices have nearly doubled in such a short time, even here at this market is becoming a bigger and bigger problem for ayesha and her team at the cafe. ah janice food zone, the prices keep going off this bit,

we get buy thanks to donations home phone whose number people help us as best they can at home on will they still be able to help with this struggling to get by themselves? oh no run, good i. she has an important appointment coming up next week. she'll make a public appearance and tell her life story to attract new sponsors. she's going to need them in order to keep the cafe running. a stumble has the highest population of all turkish cities. nobody quite knows how many on housed people live here. some $10000.00 or estimated. the government keeps no official census on the matter. and his otherwise also remained widely passive when it comes to helping those on the streets every 3 months,

those in need receive about $25.00 euros. that's just enough to buy one cup of tea a day. temporary shelters are also provided. sometimes, mostly in large holes. we me, tom sir again, whom we'd 1st met while he was working with mister ha, to beat the cold at night. he often spends hours wandering through the eye. yup. so tom district, many islamic saints are buried here. living on the streets has brought him closer to islam to the will alone. here he of the gravestones. i feel safe and i can learn about the lives of these saints. and i will make sure that the inscriptions tell me how they lived there years. which trials they had to overcome their health and losses only fictitious hands. they used to lead an entirely different life. he was the owner of

a small textile business. but when his tax adviser cheated him out of a large sum of money, comes a shot at him. and went to jail. to day he says he's a different person. in part thanks. timos differ is reasonable. i've watched him fight for people without making any distinctions. that is so much. that's when i told myself it was time for me to change. now i'm trying to find my place in society and if we got bullied, should i give major given his past, it's been hard for him to get back on his feet in turkey. he can't find a job and he can't find a home. for now, he sleeps in the courtyard of a small mask. the mom has permitted him to lie down here for a few hours each night. as long as he's gone before the 1st morning. prayers. every thing he owns is stowed in a bag toilet though it be calion was coastal. my

shade resumes, commotion, or leave luxury. leave the toilet unlocked so i can use it. medic deletion 0. they get, they know i won't break anything to manage that. so all, when i leave morning, the result i take extra care to leave everything clean and in good order was out of the michigan over i don't want the community fill imposed upon her, are also dreamless, inferior is secondary of motion. him come to him. whereas the mask will remain empty until the early morning comes. i must brace himself for another cold night in its grounds, and yet he's grateful. it's still better than sleeping in the park. ah.

must defer, is also worried about how harsh the winter is becoming. and he and his father have rented storage space where they collect used clothes and blankets this sorely needed in the past years. several and house people died of cold muster for new some of them personally blissful about this blanket is the only thing stopping some people from freezing to death danielson. but often one blanket isn't enough to dazzle at home. we also grab a 2nd blanket, even when the heater is turned up. i was with daniel ramos to call you for like a almost murmur. in the coming days he plans to distribute blankets to those on the streets. but today he has different plans in the channels in kind of a kia quarter, a number of refugee families are living precariously mustafah and other volunteers

bringing them some basic necessities to day. he's visiting a syrian family for to muster for has brought them coal for heating. the family is going to need it to get through the winter. they don't have a heater just a small oven. hi, how are you looking to move and well, thanks. what's your name? mohamad. my name's mr. far along with this family has been living in turkey for 5 years. the father is a french teacher, like many refugees here. he struggles to earn some money as a day laborer, but that isn't nearly enough to make ends meet. i offer job how high as the rent my yet, you know, as for how much money those rental costs 900 lira took, was you?

the apartment is very old and drafty askew. the windows aren't sealed properly. oh yeah. motor truck joker. yeah, of course. there are better apartments available, so i'd like to get it. i'm about we could never afford them. kayla dawn, will you only be one among thousands of similar cases? this family, too, has spent nights on the streets. you must have foresees this as proof that the governmental agent, even with the e u migrant fund, is nowhere near enough to the turkish population. refugees of the skate, gates to blame for hardships to the turkish government, their poems in a political chess game. lou from there they with didn't get to the we don't want to leave these people to the whims of states, and government is john mitchell. we're, we're here to help in that office, maybe blankets and some encouragement cluster. i think this is a blessing for society and an opportunity of may be in alabama. i believe we met,

we can jump solidarity as a blessing and opportunity not only for others, but also for one's own personal growth. not many see things the way most of her does. ah, ah, people often say is done. bull is a city that never sleeps at night. some are busy at work, while others venture out to experienced the night life. others still don't even know where they can sleep tonight. in turkey, it's the communities that are responsible for carrying for their homeless. in istanbul, this job would fall to die, roll at u. z. translated, it means the poor house. the organization was founded almost

a 150 years ago during the ottoman empire. to day it runs several reception centers . throughout his stumble, the cities, social democratic administration, does more for an housed people than past administrations have at least according to its head. is it the i in, in, in the opposite children in 2 social workers keep telling us that turkish families look out for each other. let us talk, yoked it often. but what you see behind me are the results of broken homes and migration from natalia in the search of a better life. related to civil, you'll be on call. good call. we spent 3 months in a tent and i was at the show as

a god called her, we became scared clear of it. the children felt ill bumper. they didn't have any warm clothes. people can only spend a maximum of 6 months in is stumbles, city shelters. after that they have to leave regardless of whether they found work or not. many say they don't want to risk losing whatever space they found for themselves. so they prefer staying outside i. she is skeptical about public aid. even though it's improved, it's still not enough. that's why she founded her initiative in 2017. with the help of another organization. the concept is simple. during the day, it's a normal cafe. at night it becomes a center for an housed people. they currently serve about a $150.00 meals

a day. as more and more keep coming i. she says she can tell more help is needed then is that if i don't do it, who will love? i used to not have a home either for fun, and the government register the government, the law. what a joke that the turkish state doesn't recognize homelessness, not rosa, which i'm, we used to go and visit those same governmental buildings to talk about homeless people. but we were told none were registered to him as a dog, where an earth we supposed to register them. us. so it's up to you. yes. to day a group of young students is helping out. they'd learned about the cafe through social media. i should story has made them think oh, at your mom and, and most of us are struggling to get by too often and nobody has the time to take

a look around. every one is so preoccupied with themselves that goes into society, needs to learn that many people have it far worse than lives, but hardly any one ever notices. due to corona virus restrictions on housed guests are currently not allowed to eat indoors. instead, everything is packed up and handed out. i should takes great care to ensure the food is fresh, has plenty of veggies and is always a little spicy that helps against the cold. she says, the fish, as i'd never serve any thing that i wouldn't eat myself. it's always warm skin, a warm meal bombs, just like mom's cooking. dozens are already waiting outside the cafe. i sure and her team ask us to put our camera away. some he never told their families where they were going. they simply opted vanished

in just 20 minutes. every one has got a meal. for some, this is the only food they've had all day. meanwhile the busy night life around them continues. unbolted people here have become accustomed to the sight of poverty . this indifference pains ayesha. she still feels that same stinging sensation of being invisible. her work at the cafe she tells us, is also a way for her to process what she went through. i sure how do you feel after daylight this or i feel good to le level. i feel very good as well. not slime for sure. i know that 142 people got dinner tonight, but call mom and now have a warm meal in their bellies. her bible says in a few days she'll be visiting

a convention where she hopes to find more sponsors for her cafe yoko. you may go over what gives her the strength and motivation to carry on. why has she dedicated her life to serving and housed people? the answer takes us far to the southeast of turkey, to the city of gaussian tip, home to an estimated to 1000000. many move here from is stumble to escape poverty, few ever succeed. this is where i she has spent her short childhood before enduring the, unspeakable. when she was 9, her uncle raped her over the course of several months. it was the end of her childhood. she says, years later, she was forced into prostitution when her husband sold her to a pimp. this was also where she lost her home. whenever she visits gaussian tip, she is haunted by her past denied as the goblin.

you linelle k wouldn't even sell me brett here. very difficult dish with because of your past. yes, because of my past model name doesn't cover much. oh, forgot it. whenever i she comes to garcia's tap. she picks up some things for her restaurant in his stumble. sorry, she's most interested in bringing regional spices. back to the boss barithium over centered shantora love them with a lover. i am prolonged. some of the shop owners still know what i used to do and what i do now. they are happy to see me going through the sin. uh but if i were to come here every day and buy groceries, they would cost sideways glances at me. often they wouldn't accept me. as i said, we join. i shall on her way to shave camille, a district of gauzy on tip. he

a new building sprawl. crowding out much of what eustace dante, including an old brussel. it was one of 7 across turkey in which i sure was abused for years. i. she refuses to even set foot on the property. men should guess the male guests would come in through the entrance and gape at us as if we were in a zoo. in humble song, paul, we'd stand at the window like in the red light district in hamburg, and they'd stand at the window to yvonne out of the i'm fleming. we stood there like flamingos on one leg. i'm from 10 in the morning from for a law until 11 at night saying miss arm so, but i went through a lot of escape was out of the question for ayesha and the other women trapped there. the pimps kept a close watch on them. forced prostitution is not rare in turkey.

yob noodles, if they forced themselves upon us, was in whatever fantasy they had that they couldn't live out at home in their marriage pinnacles they would enact with us. i if you add it up and since it was clearly right, right. each client that came meant another rate garza hutton maria, and who protected us. the apples? nobody this is when i sure was born. her family doesn't live here anymore, and her relatives never forgave her for the past she endured. that's why i she doesn't want to see any of them. and she certainly doesn't want to encounter a for my client. is vice history of myself. i don't know who brought my body. hi, don't know how many people i, late with here with,

i don't know much about buddha who goes with a little in spite of all her terrible memories, i should tries to visit gaussian tap at least twice a year. this is where her father's grave is. he's the only family member. she still respects. he was also a member of the 1st generation of guest work has to emigrate to germany. it's been shut off my. i'm proud of my father. bonaire if he was still alive and could see the restaurant and everything i've achieved with my organization and the last 45 years, he'd be so proud of me, brought it up from store. so as his art good when love and in case he's watching over me from above and explore, i bring him a little something each year he of us. what would you like to tell him the chapter so i made it shortly. shift,

i managed to stay clean it up to shop the sub lab. i didn't have to resort it had baggage bed to la, and i was able to create works myself, mia, i dob, and enable others to find work through me. fin leslie soon. i sure will attend a convention in a stumble to attract more sponsors. ah, he stumbles district. tiffany shanisha. this is mother wealthy, come to live and shop. many tourists also find their way here, mostly from the emeralds. they're here to take advantage of the week turkish lira and make expensive purchases to keep such lucrative visitors coming. the city relies on gentrification, edwin's government, his toned an entire neighbourhood to make room for pompous buildings. if they don't

want to end up on the streets. former residents are often left no other choice than to leave the city as the sissy ologist, most of her has been observing this development very closely. now, a family that he's known for years is worrying him. they are at risk of becoming homeless. listener, kansas, kansas through so server here we can see a type of social injustice that is typical for this city. there are 2 types supplies that couldn't be more different edition. if you look around, you can see that this family is destitute. they have no alternative just right to move for mother is old and sick dresses. she's on the gone the surgery several times where my local re to sandra elkins over there talk know joshua

must have her take a look around. what's it like here? the woman doesn't want to be filmed. the refrigerator only has some leftovers in, etc. some bananas. does this to work social? oh yes. it's a classic welfare case, but nobody other than mystify will help them. believe you some coal for heating? i was just thinking about you the other day. i thought you had forgotten me. i tried calling you, but my phone is broken. what ever shall i do? mustafah meetings. oh, oh. oh. oh. oh.

like, is it how can the cook tells us that many mosques used to cook for the poor and on housed to day? it's more of an exception than the rule. many mosques even shut their doors after evening prayers. they've come to be more of a separating force than a uniting one. is looking able to do this or what we want our community to be actively engaged in helping others. another will self that's important to us. change the home if other people see how well this here is working, it might inspire them to follow our example. that was like, also got their job a little from city must. if i was raised to religiously to this day, his faith plays a large role in his life. but he understands religion differently to most other believers. he's most concerned with the social aspect din article my list of these days. sadly, religion has become more of a routine or

a theory than anything else. i mean, all the work, anybody knows that strictly following religious rules doesn't make you a good person. as i say bureaus, annie, so me if you can pray as much as he wants out of it or god doesn't ask us to pray that much because it's more important regardless of which faith he follow with yet mama was garrick immunization is that you keep your faith and responsibility and harmony, hopefully that we will then be the most likely the most accurate numbers of your ah, the time has finally come today is i shes big appearance. she's trying to attract new sponsors at an is stumble conference. many large brands are represented here. this is a rare chance who i ship and she's come, well prepared. how do you feel? are you nervous to move all michelle? you've all, you know, not at all involved. i woke up at 5 york,

a replacement. why don't we give to others with the same right? fisher, from the moment i should as well. she delivers her speech convincingly and without sounding nervous. oh, i know she weaves in her own story for authenticity yet now she and her team are waiting for a potential sponsor to approach them and tell them, well then comes the good news. they've got one a well known nutritionist has contacted a poultry deliverer and the company is willing to supply the cafe for 2 years. i went to london, i keep asking myself how i could end up in a bordello and then on the streets. it was a terrible time, so my fish,

if i had met people like you back then, then we could have been doing good for 20 years instead of just for them. but we hopefully still have 20 more years ahead of us. i didn't send them as i hope so. we should embrace life in one another and i hope we both long and healthy lives. i'm so glad. there are people like our sunday class. the next day we catch up with i share it stumbles famous toxeme square. she's off work today and about to make friends. as the metropolis bustles around her, she turns inward. despite having just landed a new sponsor, she's worried about the future. the rich keep getting richer while the poor i getting cora. and the state does nothing but watch.

mom not which of these people aren't wound on the streets and they shouldn't die on the streets. whoever holds one of these id cards should enjoy certain rights. but in turkey, the topic is absolutely 2 came up because we don't want to see it. one moment. we don't want to open up to it. why not? aren't we human to? we just dirt. i don't think so. ah. most of us organization is in the was could our district this evening on the asian side? as is always the case on days like these, the line as long. hm says here to helping out. he's not having a good day. like i sure he too is plagued by the thought that his life and the lives of other on house people like him. a stuck in an endless cycle on days

like these, it feels like there's no escape, no matter how hard he tries. which result my gun leash available, hold of, i'll be honest with you for the lila my whole life. i haven't let myself be discouraged for pleasure. it's now i sleep on the streets. if i regret having served in this country's military and even having paid them taxes, vertigo, their mother, you, the money in most of us view, it's not just the responsibility of the state to address the needs of and housed people in turkey. any one can pitch in if only a little. sometimes it's enough to simply lend an ear yonder, as of how many of us actually know how a neighbor is doing. we don't care about other people's problems from an inductor. this hectic life from the loneliness of the large city, the modern that night when we go to sleep, we can feel that something is missing. again. it's the fact that we haven't done

a good he validated in some ways, most of his work is quixotic. but without volunteers like him, the situation for many people on the streets in turkey would be far worse. we haven't seen hansa, must have his helper for days. it's as if he's vanished. we set out to look for him . he said to have last been seen in ballot at the golden horn. it's a poor district that is popular with an housed people. sure enough, we find hamza here. bernard has commercial infrastructure for an housed people, such as laundromats, showers, internet cafes on 2nd hand stores. as

ali pasha has almost anything, an unhappy man like hums, i could ask for possibly of them all to morrow sean will do. the laundry piled up here comes from practically all over the world and it belongs to 4 or on housed people from pakistan or bangladesh. and of course, to locals over the city of boston. oh, here on housed people can have their laundry done and take a shower for just 15 lira or about one year vanish pushes, business is a social one that makes the lives of many people who are on housed or in need easier. hamza has managed to find clothes in, sally pushes 2nd hand store. you shall,

but his trouble finding a home remains alter your worn more foreigners keep pouring in. that drives the prices up here, for example, prices for a simple room of gone up from $20.00 to $80.00. lira, although i can't keep up with that really, i can't afford that strong low social networking and i shall she keeps failing, drawn to the company of those who reluctantly called the streets and squares of his temple their home. she talks to them once to understand their worries and offer support wherever she can. she knows what it's like to not be able to grab a bite whenever hunger strikes the way she sees it. the economic crisis along with the rising number of refugees make it necessary for the

state to do more to help those who have fallen by the way sides. but i sure and her team will keep up the fright. ah ah, for her, the only way you've appealing, sunny my willa is africa's 1st female bree master, as well as the country's 1st black woman to pound
