Z!, the Amsterdam street newspaper

The goal of Z! is to help homeless people help themselves. With the sale of Z! the sellers can earn some money and (again) build a foundation of rhythm, social contacts and self-respect.

The newspaper's editors say the following about this on their website :

'People live on the streets in every major city, including Amsterdam. The municipalities and welfare organizations receive these people but cannot possibly provide a watertight system to eradicate homelessness. Z! offers for the people who find themselves between the cracks and the ship. an enterprising way to improve their situation: selling the newspaper as an independent entrepreneur. Since 1995, thousands of sellers have taken advantage of this and improved their living conditions. Nowadays Z! still in that need.'

The street newspaper is a member of the International Network of Street Newspapers. See the video below for inspiration.
