LavaMaeˣ

We believe that everyone has a right to get clean. Lava Mae, a mobile shower and sanitation service for the homeless, seeks to restore dignity and sow opportunity one shower at a time, by delivering hygiene to the thousands of people living on the streets of San Francisco. To do so, we repurpose decommissioned public transportation buses, and retrofit them with private bathrooms, each with a shower, toilet, sink, and small changing area. By partnering with local nonprofits serving the homeless, we are able to act as an extension of current service offerings, to deliver our service directly to where the homeless are. With hygiene comes dignity, and with dignity, opportunity.
