While on one hand, Google's commute buses have been stopped or Google has pay for using those commute buses on San Francisco streets, while on the other side Google invested about $100,000 in a Google Bus project.
A San Francisco non-profit Lava Mae, just showed a trial version of its Bus that aims to give showers to those homeless people who live by the Bay Area. This project was funded as a part of Google Impact Challenge.
Lava Mae founder Doniece Sandoval, a marketing veteran said such a mobile sanitary station was essential for the Human Rights of the city's homeless.
"You're living on the streets and you're filthy, you're trying to improve your circumstances," she told The Assiciated Press. "But you can't interview for a job, you can't apply for housing and get disconnected from the sense of humanity."
The non-profit bought a bus and refurbished it at a cost of about $75,000. The bus has 2 bathrooms with hot showers, shampoo, soap and towels. Watch this video to get into details about how this venture will really help homeless people of the Bay Area.
