About Quiet Nijmegen, Stichting

The Quiet Community Nijmegen Foundation alleviates (quiet) poverty in Nijmegen, where no fewer than 10,000+ households live below the poverty line. We do this by drawing structural attention to the consequences of poverty on the lives of these people and by mitigating the situation they find themselves in as much as possible. We ask entrepreneurs in the Nijmegen region to offer their product or service for free. For example, a hairdresser who gives away a free haircut every week. In addition, we are building a community where talents can flourish and self-confidence grows.
