Some beggars are disabled, left by their families or completely were not able to attend any form of school. Being uneducated, they may have low self-esteem and are uninformed of the ways that they could ask help or even earn for themselves. For them the easiest way would be to live in the streets and ask people for money. This actually serves as their occupation. They choose to live this way because in the first place, they are unaware of the other things they could do.

sure it can make a difference and get back the self esteem on them only if beggars are ready to start.ALSO It is important and responsible for everyone such as us to start a campaign to call up more to give support and understanding as well.It is a personal thing as well as a social thing.

In my country there's a lot of beggars are children. They leave in the streets. Their parents probably sells in the street and their children begs. If I see a capable person begging, then that's when I feel that they should be working instead of begging. But I rarely see this kind of beggars. I feel sorry too to those old people begging. It's like they are living the last years of their lives and it has to be miserable and sad. I see a lot of them in the streets, can't barely walk straight, just really old. It's heartbreaking to see them as much as I see children begging.
