Mediterranea NGO, a Mallorca(Spain) based NGO developed what is known as the "Dignipac" at the end of 2010 and started distributing it in early 2011. The Dignipac is a package that contains the basic articles needed for maintaining a minimal level of personal hygiene amongst the homeless. Most modern first world cities do not have public showers any more, and not all cities have rivers where the homeless can wash themselves or their clothes. The Dignipac was devised to be able to dignify the existence of these people who have no access to running water, public showers or other means to keep themselves clean. The articles included in the Dignipac are the following:

Women – deodorant, socks, sanitary towels, wipes, toothbrush, toothpaste, panties, shampoo, shower gel, moisturiser, and hairbrush. Men - deodorant, socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, comb, underpants and disposable razors.

The average cost (depending on stocks and suppliers) has been between 10 and 12€ a pack.
