I am talking about my Lebanese experience. Some of them are landlords. yet they are still in business. unfortunately, they are spoiling the credibility of the real needy people.
There are gangs on beggers and each one has an area allocated to. No business intruders are allowed.
Now here is the very bad thing. In the early morning, they have gathering places to lanch their daily work after getting ready with their necessary tools. Parents who are involved in business bring their handicapped kids or those with birth deformities and rent them for the day. An auction takes place and the kid is rented to the winning bidder.
