What is a Street Paper?
"The Jeepney Magazine" is a Filipino publication produced by the Urban Opportunities for Change, Foundation Inc.
The Jeepney Magazine has two main goals:
- The first is the presentation of the stories and hearts of the Filipino poor. It is our intent to communicate the needs, struggles and more importantly, the victories in the midst of those struggles, of homeless people, to an audience that can make change happen.
- The second is the provision of jobs, with dignity, meeting or exceeding the Philippine minimum wage. The provision of jobs, is modeled by the over two hundred autonomous street papers in the world today. The vendors of these papers receive fifty to ninety percent of the papers cover price.
