A new initiative is giving homeless people in France a platform to share their daily experiences via Twitter. The project, #Tweets2Rue or “Tweets from the Street”, features five homeless men documenting their struggles through personal Twitter accounts.
The French Foundation of Abbé Pierre partnered with three organisations to launch #Tweets2Rue to mark the October 17 International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
