    Sleep under the stars

    In the Netherlands, over 40,000 people don’t have a safe place to sleep. The Sheltersuit Foundation believes everyone deserves warmth, dignity, and protection. That’s why they provide Sheltersuits -jackets that transform into sleeping bags- for people living on the streets.

    On November 19, we’re joining forces to raise funds and awareness during the WTC Sleep Out.

    And you can be part of it!

    Experience a unique night under the stars on Zuidplein. Slip into a Sheltersuit, start your own fundraiser, and rally your network to raise €300. The cost of one Sheltersuit.

    Let’s make impact together.
