A 0 km solidarity emporium run by the unemployed. Here is the idea behind the project ZeroPerCento which will be born in Milan thanks to the Onlus Namaste 'and the support of all of us through a crowdfunding campaign already active on Produzioni dal basso.
ZeroPerCento is proposed as one solidarity shop with bulk products and at zero kilometer. All citizens will be able to visit it to buy food from Lombard farms and social agricultural cooperatives.
The solidarity store will be managed exclusively by unemployed staff for at least 6 months and 30% of employees will also belong to the categories considered disadvantaged.
The ZeroPerCento bottega is born per help the families of the unemployed who will have the opportunity to shopping without using cash. They will pay thanks to points awarded based on annual income, dependent children, months of unemployment, rents and other objective criteria.
The unemployed who will have the opportunity to participate in the management of the ZeroPerCento shop will be able to take advantage of one paid work collaboration lasting 9 months. It will be a job opportunity but also a training opportunity that will later allow you to find employment in external realities.
A fundraising campaign was launched for the initiative, designed to support the birth of the project and to cover the first expenses: furnishing and purchase of equipment, initial raw materials and first staff hires.
