Le Clochard - The Cardboard Bedsheet
Have you ever slept under a cardboard box? Probably not. However, for thousands of young people in the Netherlands, living on the street is hard reality. SZN, the foundation for homeless young people in the Netherlands, is trying to do something about it.
This is the reason a unique project has been initiated in the form of the Le Clochard cotton quilt cover. The cover is printed with the image of a cardboard box folded open. A large proportion of the proceeds from Le Clochard goes to SZN. The income is used to fund housing projects which prioritise support for young people in finding work or continuing their education. So by sleeping under a cardboard box, you can help a homeless young person out from under one.
The initiators of Le Clochard are Erik van Loo and Peggy van Neer. They market Le Clochard under the name SNURK (it means ’snore’ in Dutch!).
