#EverybodyShowers: World Water Day 2016
Here at Lava Mae we talk about showers a lot. To all types of people. Other service providers, young techies in San Francisco, high-powered execs and political powerhouses, to the skaters on Haight St. and artists in the Tenderloin. And to thousands of men, women, and children sleeping on the streets, often overlooked, who rely on our mobile hygiene service for their showers.
Close your eyes and it all sounds the same. A shower is a reset. It brings a sense of calm, a change in attitude. It makes you feel like yourself again.
A shower is universal. It’s a basic human right; a tool we all use for our self care. And yet in San Francisco - and in communities across the globe - people living on the streets are forced to go without.
Imagine what that would feel like. What would that do for your energy level? Your motivation? Your sense of hope?
For our first ever UN World Water Day, Lava Mae is taking a moment to think about something most of us take for granted: our showers. Being clean can mean the world of difference in how people see you, treat you - how you feel about yourself. Help us level the playing field: we want to remind the world that #EverybodyShowers and fuel more showers for the homeless in 2016.
It only costs $7/shower to deliver hygiene and restore dignity for our guests. Our goal is to provide 21,000 showers in 2016.

Hi! My name is Leah, and to me a shower means Lava Mae. It’s the people we meet, and the connections we make. #EverybodyShowers
