English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "haweloos" is "sonder 'n huis, en woon dus tipies op straat." Dit verwys na individue of gesinne wat nie 'n gereelde, veilige en voldoende woonplek het nie, en wat gedwing kan word om in skuilings, motors, verlate geboue of op straat te bly. Dakloosheid kan onder andere deur verskeie faktore veroorsaak word, soos armoede, werkverlies, geestesgesondheidskwessies, verslawing, gesinsgeweld of natuurrampe. Dit is 'n beduidende sosiale kwessie wat miljoene mense regoor die wêreld raak, en dit lei dikwels tot verskeie uitdagings en probleme met toegang tot basiese behoeftes, soos voedsel, skuiling, gesondheidsorg en onderwys.
