About this project

Tino from SZL Suchtzentrum gGmbH is responsible for this project
,Safe-Street Social Work for Adults’ has been working with people who spend time in public spaces for over 15 years. Each year, we engage with approximately 400 individuals on the streets of Leipzig. Many of them are homeless, severely affected by poverty, and living in extremely precarious conditions.

Our three teams at SAFE regularly visit these individuals and provide  essential supplies. We distribute items such as sleeping bags, foam mats, clothing, hygiene products, and other daily necessities. Additionally, we assist with purchasing medications and tickets, offer free internet access at our offices and street outreach points, and provide food and hot drinks to those in need.

Some of these items are donated to us directly, but a significant portion must be purchased, which requires financial resources. Your donation helps both us and the people we support. It enables us to respond quickly and effectively to individual needs—not only during the winter months but throughout the entire year.

However, this is just one part of our work. You can learn more about us at https://suchtzentrum.de/unsere-angebote/streetwork/safe or follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/safeleipzig/. You are also welcome to contact us directly.

For general inquiries about the streetwork project and the fundraising campaign, please reach out to:
Tino Neufert – Phone: 0175 675 80 41
Johanna Fütterer – Phone: 0179 413 47 46

Important: Fundraising is time-consuming, and while betterplace provides us with this wonderful platform, we invest a great amount of time and effort into creating, maintaining, and managing the public relations aspects of our fundraising efforts. Therefore, in consultation with betterplace, we have decided that, starting from September 19, 2023, 2% of all collected donations will be allocated to administrative expenses. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact Tino.
