This was started because so many of the labourers found themselves literally on the street. The Nepalese embassy, under the old Ambassador, had given recognition as this place being a 'safe house' for these people to stay, as they had no-where else. IT DOES NOT HOLD ABSCONDING PEOPLE; only those who have been abandoned by sponsors. It was also visited by the Human Rights and Human Trafficking depts.
However, Safe Houses as such, need to have recognition from the Charity Commission to be finally legal, and that is what Gokul, the founder, was trying to do.
But in the meantime, Gokul housed some of his own work-force there, so that it wouldn't be so costly to run (40 of his own, and 60 abandoned people). The rents as you all know are exhorbitant, and food is no less cheaper now with the recent price hikes. Therefore it has been neccessary to donate, and to 'share' these costs to make the effort viable. Otherwise one single nepalese businessman could not cover these costs every month. 'Primsolution' has problems with that. He seems to think of it as a freebie boarding house, where you can get everything for nothing.
In terms of finances, all donations to the house have been accounted for, and are in books for viewing by anyone who wants to see.
Unfortunately, until the law is changed, all expatriates even abandoned ones, are illegal unless they are employed in some kind of work. There are no immigrants in Qatar, as they have strict laws concerning this. Everyone must come here for work, and recieve a Work Permit to do so. Some sponsors have been lax in these requirements, hence the 'abandoned' people. Why do they sponsor then? Because they recieve a 'fee' for doing so. It a quick way to make a buck!

If the grass is greener on the other side, its sure the water bill is higher !
