Story
At the Washing Machine Project, we are helping to alleviate the burden of hand washing clothes for everyone, everywhere.
It's our one year anniversary, and we've got a lot of achievements under our belt - we've published research, partnered with Oxfam, and tested our prototype with internally displaced people in Iraq, but there's a lot more to do.
This year we are aiming to conduct a pilot of 50 Divyas (our washing machine, named after Nav's friend who inspired the project) in Northern Iraq. Your donation could go towards developing, testing or transporting the machines in preparation for the pilot programme.
