Shower Bus for Street Children

The shower bus visits each of I-India's "School on Wheels" centres twice a week and provides the children there with an on-the spot shower. Soap, shampoo, anti-lice lotion, combs and toothpaste are also provided, as is hygiene education. This service may be the only proper wash a child will get all week due to water scarcity in the desert state of Rajasthan.

In the long hot season from March to November when temperatures can reach 48C/120F, the showers become a joyful party for the children.

The bus is a project of I-India (www.i-indiaonline.com) which works with street children in Jaipur.
