Let's get this truck on the road together

Bringing the First Remote Vehicle
to Aotearoa

At Orange Sky, we believe clean clothes, warm showers, and genuine kōrero enhance dignity and lift up whānau doing it tough. We are raising funds to bring the heavy-duty Remote Vehicle (RV) to Aotearoa New Zealand — completely upgrading the level of care we can deliver to rural communities.

Destination: Whakatāne. The Need is Real.

Whakatāne faces one of the highest rates of severe housing deprivation in the country. Hundreds of friends and whānau live in precarious, overcrowded conditions or sleep rough.

Partnering with Waiariki Whānau Mentoring Trust—a Māori kaupapa organisation providing mentoring and wrap-around support—Orange Sky will maintain the truck while the Trust employs local kaimahi (staff) for day-to-day operations. Kaimahi are out five days a week, and this rugged vehicle will instantly expand their capacity to deliver hot water washing (vital for preventing severe skin infections), commercial-grade drying, and a consistent space to connect.

The RV Powerhouse:
Laundry on Wheels

Custom-built to navigate rugged terrain, this truck expands our reach far beyond our standard metro vans:

Meeting people where they are means more than a location.

Every community looks different - and so does our response. From big cities to small towns and suburbs, Orange Sky partners with local community providers to make sure our laundry and shower services meet each community’s unique needs.

Showing up consistently builds trust, connection, and friendship.

Thank you for helping us build a resilient and compassionate community.
