Alleviating the burden of hand washing clothes.
One wash at a time.
The Washing Machine Project is now supported by Whirlpool Foundation.
By joining forces with Whirlpool Foundation, we will extend our impact, targeting approximately 150,000 people over the next five years and helping reclaim millions of hours of time.
The Problem
60% of the world endures health issues and lost opportunities as a result of exhaustive handwashing. Spending up to 20 hours per week, the burden of handwashing clothes is predominantly placed on women and girls.
Our Solution
Meet the Divya, the world’s first flat-packable Washing Machine. A manual, off-the-grid washer-dryer that helps save up to 50% of water and 75% of the time compared to handwashing clothes.
