The internet cafe for people facing poverty

A very real problem for people in poverty in Switzerland is the lack of internet access. Without this, they can’t search for a job or accommodation. Ten years ago, an internet cafe was opened in Basel by people who are themselves affected by poverty. Today this is much more than just a cafe with a free internet connection. (SRF, swissinfo.ch)
