CAMPS manufacturing shelter coats for the homeless

[English version below]

Un nuevo invierno se acerca en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, la posibilidad de una cena caliente, el acceso a una ducha que nos devuelva el calor al cuerpo, el derecho a un techo donde resguardarse. No todos vivimos el invierno de la misma forma.

El abrigo no deberia ser un privilegio.

Estamos buscando talleres de confección para las CAMPS mientras armamos nuestro taller de costura. Mientras tanto, les queremos compartir nuestro nuevo diseño, que pronto estará siendo distribuido.

Muchas gracias por tu apoyo de siempre!

Winter is coming to the city of Buenos Aires, the chance to have a hot dinner, access to a hot shower that renews our body temperature, and the right to a roof as a shelter.  Not everyone lives winter in the same way.

Shelter shouldn't be a privilege.

We are looking for retail or clothing workshops while we are organizing our own sewing workshop. In the meantime, we want to show you our new design, that will be soon dsitributed.

 Thanks a lot for your support, always!

This project is centered on the production of jackets that turned into a sleeping bag for homeless people in the winter season and, at the same time, provide with work to those who are taking part in our Employment Traning Center, as a part of the crafts training workshops.

We have started a sewing workshop on our Employment training Center (ETC) but we still need special machine to produce the amount of CAMPS we are aiming to. 

Last year we designed a new model with certain details that allow users to be easily seen at night, and identified the jacket as our project. If we can get the specific machines in time, we wont need to depend on an external provider to make the whole batch of CAMPS.

Help us out to be able to buy the equipment and give our users the chance to train their skills and help homeless people!

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo la producción de camperas que se transforman en bolsas de dormir para que personas en situación de calle pasen el invierno de una mejor manera. Al mismo tiempo, les genera oportunidades laborales a la spersonas que estan en nuestro Centro de Formación para el Empleo. 

Comenzamos un Taller de Costura en el CFE, pero todavia necesitamos maquinas especiales para producir la cantidad de CAMPS a la que queremos llegar.

El año pasado diseñamos un nuevo modelo con detalles que permiten que quienes las usan sean visibles de noche, e identifican facilmente la campera como proyecto de Multipolar. Si llegamos a conseguir la maquinaria necesaria podriamos comenzar a producir independientemente para este invierno.

Ayudanos a que podamos equiparnos y darle a las personas que transitan nuestros procesos entrenar sus habilidades y a la vez, ayudar a las personas que aún están en la calle.

Hello dear supporters! Hope you and your love ones are safe and well.

As the COVID-19 pandemic hit us and our beneficiaries really hard, we have been working on a new model of our CAMP, to make it stronger, more sustainable and more comfortable to carry while awake and walking.

We are now manufacturing our first new model, and we'll be posting its pictures as soon as we finish it, so please, keep supporting our project so we can scale the production process and reach more homeless people with a CAMP to make their roofless nights less cold.

We also know that this is more a patch than a solution, so we continue with our Employment Training Center, for people to thrive and get out of their homelessness through decent jobs.

Recieve our thanks and a warm hug.
