This project will deploy a Mobile Shower Truck across several major cities in Morocco to provide safe showers, hygiene kits, and clean clothing to 4,000 homeless people each year. By restoring access to basic hygiene and creating a direct entry point to essential health services, the project reduces medical risks, strengthens preventive care, and restores dignity for people living in extreme vulnerability.
In major Moroccan cities, thousands of homeless people live without access to basic hygiene or healthcare. Without showers or clean clothes, they face infections, chronic illnesses, and are often refused in hospitals or services. This lack of hygiene traps them in a cycle of exclusion, leaving them invisible, vulnerable, and unable to reconnect with essential health and social support.
This Mobile Shower Truck delivers essential health and hygiene services directly to homeless people. Each beneficiary receives a full support package: digital fingerprint registration for identification, hand and foot hygiene, oral care, barber and hairdressing services, a hot shower, new clean clothing, a medical consultation with medication, and a hot meal. These services immediately reduce health risks and restore dignity, making it easier for beneficiaries to access hospitals and shelters.
Over time, this project will improve health, dignity, and social inclusion for homeless people in major Moroccan cities. Regular access to hygiene, showers, grooming, clean clothes, medical care, medication, and hot meals helps reduce illness and rebuild confidence. Many naturally begin reconnecting with health systems, administrative services, and community life. For others, JOOD provides long-term guidance through medical follow-up, vocational training, and job placement.
