Pastor Steven Turikunkiko has set up a community in Rwanda for victims of the genocide. 160 widows & teenagers & 80 younger children live with him; farming, sharing their lives and caring for those dying from AIDS. The community subsists on less than $1 per person per day. At enormous personal sacrifice, Pastor Steven and his wife have also adopted 20 orphans - who live with them and their 2 other children.

Begging banned in Baghdad
However, the Iraqi government is not willing to tolerate this anymore. Beggars will now be arrested. The elderly beggars will be sent to old-age homes whilst the child beggars will be sent to orphanages or youth prisons. Begging is seen as both anti-social and a security risk because insurgents are increasingly using the homeless to perpetrate suicide bombings.

Beggars will be cleared from the streets of Baghdad in a new Government clampdown. Since the US-led invasion in 2003, the number of street beggars has increased considerably. Many of them are children.
