Sleepout for Change
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 WTC Amsterdam will join forces with the Sheltersuit Foundation for the WTC Sleepout, an event to raise awareness and funds for people experiencing homelessness.
This evening is not about pretending to be homeless, but about listening, learning, and standing in solidarity. The founder of Sheltersuit will share his story, a person with lived experience of homelessness will speak about how easily anyone can end up in this situation, and experts from HVO-Querido will discuss their work in supporting people to regain control over their lives.
Join us in making a real difference. By participating, you help fund a Sheltersuit (€300) and support ongoing local initiatives for people without shelter.
The Sleepout will include food and some drinks and all the necessary facilities to spend the night safely at the Zuidplein.
Let’s take meaningful action together.
