Project Vision and the HiEHiE Mobile shower Project

The HiEHiE Project Hawai'i is a mobile hygiene van that offers free showers to the people of the Hawai`i islands. Our mission is to protect every human’s innate sense of dignity: in the Hawaiian language, their 'Hie Hie’. This is why we bring free mobile showers to those experiencing homelessness to help humans retain their right to 'Hie Hie’ through hygiene. Our parent organization, Project Vision, participates in health screenings, school and pre-school screenings, and events for those who are experiencing homelessness. We are seeking eager volunteers interested in learning to offer kōkua to the people of Hawai’i by providing our guests a calming hygiene experience and a fresh start.
