About Orange Sky Aotearoa / Mō Orange Sky Aotearoa

Orange Sky is the world’s first free mobile laundry and shower service, providing support to people experiencing homelessness and hardship. Launched in Aotearoa in 2018, after beginning in Australia, our kaupapa is to connect communities through working alongside service partners and community groups to uphold the dignity and mana of friends and whānau experiencing homelessness and hardship.

In Aotearoa, we are privileged to walk alongside whānau and communities in need, fostering genuine connections through clean clothes, warm showers, and meaningful kōrero. With 41,600 Kiwis (1 in 120) experiencing homelessness, our kaupapa is to break down barriers and bring people together through acts of connection and kindness. We’re driven, dedicated, insanely ambitious and a little unconventional. We take our work seriously but have plenty of fun along the way. We work hard and ‘get it done’ but always make time to celebrate each other’s success.
