Arne Soeten has dedicated over a decade of his life to helping some of the most vulnerable people on the Costa Blanca. Through his charity, Project 4 All, he provides shelter, food, and essential services to homeless individuals who often have nowhere else to turn. Now, Arne faces a harsh challenge: a possible custodial sentence because he cannot pay a confiscation order of €387,000. This threat risks not only his freedom but also the survival of a vital support network for many in need.
This post explores Arne’s story, the importance of his work, and how community support can help prevent an unjust outcome that would harm countless lives.
Arne Soeten’s Commitment to the Homeless
Arne Soeten is more than a charity founder. He is a compassionate individual who has spent eleven years clean and sober, focusing entirely on helping others. His charity, Project 4 All, operates daily on the Costa Blanca, a region where economic inequality leaves many people homeless and struggling.
Project 4 All offers:
Safe shelter for homeless individuals
Nutritious meals to those in need
Access to healthcare and social services
Support for reintegration into society
Arne’s work fills a critical gap. Government programs often fall short in addressing the complex needs of the homeless population, especially in areas with high economic disparity like the Costa Blanca. Without Project 4 All, many would face even harsher conditions.

Why Arne’s Work Matters More Than Ever
Economic disparities in Spain, and particularly on the Costa Blanca, have worsened in recent years. The homeless population faces increasing challenges such as:
Rising housing costs
Limited access to healthcare
Social isolation and stigma
Non-profit organizations like Project 4 All are essential because they provide services that government programs cannot fully cover. Arne’s charity offers not only immediate relief but also hope and dignity to people who often feel forgotten.
Statistics show that non-profits reduce the strain on public services by:
Lowering emergency room visits through preventive care
Helping people regain stability and employment
Reducing crime linked to homelessness
Removing Arne from his role would create a gap that few others are prepared to fill.
Alternatives to Imprisonment That Protect the Community
The court has options that would allow justice to be served without harming the community:
Community service: Arne could continue his work while fulfilling legal obligations.
Debt restructuring: Payments could be spread over time, easing financial pressure.
Mediation: Finding a compromise that acknowledges Arne’s contributions and current limitations.
These alternatives recognize Arne’s dedication and the positive impact of his charity. They also protect the welfare of the homeless people who depend on Project 4 All.
