Žmogus dėžė (Human. box), VšĮ

Lithuania | Started in 2013

Director: Aurelija Dzedzevičiūtė

zurnalas@zmogusdeze.lt


Mission: 

The organization publishes a magazine “Žmogus.dėžė” which gives an opportunity to work for people who have certain difficulties to find a job (e.g. homeless). The idea is adopted from practices in other countries such as „The Big Issue“ in the UK. The main topic of the magazine is success stories of people who dare to act. Instead of repeating problems in the Lithuaian media, the magazine highlights the ways by which people solve them. The initiative is developing slowly because of the lack of communication and little support by the society shown to red-vested magazine sellers. Therefore, finance is a challenge to this association.


Has women or girls as primary clients/target population: NO

Meets Project Definition of a Women-Led Social Enterprise (Social Mission, Woman Leadership, Portion made in market, portion of profit/surplus reinvested): YES
