Many homeless individuals are affected by financial problems, unemployment, or other socio-economic circumstances, often leaving them without access to help and housing.
Worldwide, many people are forced to live in refugee camps because they needed to leave their home countries due to conflicts, persecution, or other crises. The conditions in these camps can be very challenging, with limited access to basic necessities.
Disasters and conflicts cause large groups of people to become displaced and homeless. They are often vulnerable and in urgent need of emergency aid.
At Sheltersuit Foundation, we understand that working with people experiencing homelessness demands swift action, innovation and effective resources.
That’s why we've established partnerships with helping organisations, bringing dignified solutions to those who need it most.
At Sheltersuit Foundation, we have a diverse range of nationalities among our workforce. Some people work on a voluntary basis at Sheltersuit, while others are employed on a permanent basis.
In the sewing atelier, the majority of workers are people with a distance to the labor market from countries such as Syria, Ukraine, and Eritrea. These individuals often have experience in textiles from their home countries and are empowered once again at Sheltersuit Foundation. They are supported by a job coach and helped with learning the Dutch language.
