Welcome to Místní místním

Our story

We are an NGO operating since 2017 with the aim of connecting society in solidarity with people in need. We create a network of cafés and shop/keepers that help – we already connect over 30 solidarity places in Prague. We aim to expand the Solidarity network and together with you change our city into a more welcoming one.

We can involve cafés, restaurants, shops, but also theatres, bike repair shops, bakeries and anyone else. Places involved in the Solidarity Network provide basic small services to the people without homes and anyone in need. In addition to basic services such as tap water or access to a toilet, some Solidarity places offer vouchers for more expensive services such as coffee or lunch. The vouchers can be purchased by the public for someone who could not otherwise afford the service. We connect the Solidarity network with both the public and local social service providers to be a long-term safety net and sustainable help for people in need. 

We are part of the global platform The Chime – which works with similar projects around the world. We have gained great experience with them and improved the support given for the solidarity places involved.

What does the Solidarity Network mean?

• social friendly places, which have long provided basic services free of charge, primarily to people without homes and but also to anyone in need. 
• opportunities for people in need to connect with their neighbours and get back on their feet.
• small and manageable help, that doesn't cost much, simultaneously making our city more inclusive and welcoming.
