New Leaf Czechia is a new project that aims to help the country’s homeless people with large, one-time financial donations. Inspired by a Canadian scheme of the same name, the Czech non-profit organisation Neposeda believes that these payments will not only allow the people involved to turn a new leaf, but also save the state money in future.

Neposeda, a Czech charity that has been working with children, teenagers, senior citizens and families for over twenty-three years, is trialling a new scheme intended to help the homeless.
