We help people who are struggling and experiencing loneliness due to debt, addiction, mental health issues, or homelessness. We’ve been doing this for fifty years, together with our volunteers, whom we call “Aardige Amsterdammers.” Together, we make the city friendlier, more beautiful, and a place where everyone is welcome. As people among each other.
