Deliver 20 Sheltersuits to people in need.
Donation protected
Hi there!
My name is Kélian, aka Eze , born and raised in France, I originate from Cameroon and I currently live in the Netherlands.
It was in 2018 when I got introduced to 2 ideas:
- the term "glocal": which encourages to think global and act local, as a way to remain proactively accountable to one's action towards nature and society at large.
- a project called "Sheltersuit". They manufacture coats for homeless people that turns into a sleeping bag.
In summer 2023, I am turning 30 years old and my employer encourages us to do volunteering work in order to make an impact in our local or global community. Loving challenges, I decide to climb the Kilimanjaro and fundraise money for Sheltersuit.
On their website , they share the fact that a sheltersuit costs them 300e to make. The Kilimanjaro is 5,895-meter high, which is the reason why I decide to fundraise 6,000e, which represent 20 sheltersuits.
This cause is particularly important to me because I personally experienced the challenges of finding a home in Amsterdam, from sleeping at the airport for a week to eventually finding my own. Which is not the case for everyone and people in need come in different shape and form, sometimes despite having a job.
Now, that I am in a more comfortable situation, I want to use my privilege to help others and pay it forward.
