Program Overview - The WASH Foundation

Giving those who need it, a hot shower and a fresh start.

We're providing hot showers and hygiene supplies to individuals experiencing homelessness in cities across the United States.

Since 2017, The WASH Foundation, an evolution of Clean the World Foundation has delivered over 45,000 showers to individuals experiencing homelessness helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19 to the unhoused population while combatting homelessness.

Through mobile showers units, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) programming and Wellness (COVID-19 testing, HEP A / HEP C vaccinations, and illness prevention) services, Clean the World’s Fresh Start WASH & Wellness Program is the driving force towards a successful transition to housing, treatment, and job placement services for this underserved community..

Close to 60,000 hygiene kits distributed

Give back dignity and health

Daily hygiene habits play a critical role in preventing the spread of disease from person to person.

In America, most homeless shelters do not have adequate shower facilities or washing stations available for the unhoused which creates a gap in supportive services. Access to clean water, soap, and washing facilities reduces the risk of infection and illness in this population, as well as the spread of disease to the community at large.

Join us and help people who are vulnerable due to inadequate access to water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Change Lives. Deliver Impact.

Access to hygiene and wellness services can decrease homelessness by 35%. The Fresh Start Mobile Showers is the connector for individuals to get additional services such as mental health counseling, identification, housing and more.

You can make a difference in your local community. Sponsor a Fresh Start WASH and Wellness Program in your city or sponsor one of our existing programs in Orlando and Las Vegas. You are truly making an impact and changing lives!

IMPACT REPORTS

Program Report

We're happy to report that our Fresh Start WASH & Wellness program is having a tremendous impact on homeless communities across the country.

Our mobile showers provide a much-needed service for people who often do not have access to clean water or bathrooms. They also help improve the shower guests' overall esteem, which can inspire them to get a "fresh start" by seeking out additional services like housing, job training, and health services.
