Objectives

At The Washing Machine Project it's our mission to alleviate the burden of hand-washing clothes. For everyone, everywhere.

Activities

Our mission is to create a single, standalone, off the grid washing solution that will be affordable, portable and accessible for everyone, everywhere.

Did you know:

  • 70% of the world’s population do not have access to a washing machine
  • Women constitute the majority of the world’s poor population and often carry the burden of washing
  • Some people spend up to 20 hours per week hand washing clothes
  • Hand washing clothes increases the likelihood of skin irritation and chronic back pain.

We know it. Now you do. Let’s change it.
