Why Organisations work with The Washing Machine Project

A young person in a patterned dress is washing clothes in a tub outdoors. There are multiple colorful plastic tubs filled with clothes on the grass. In the background, there are trees, houses, and another person standing.

We are more than a product supplier. The Washing Machine Project partners with humanitarian and development organisations to design, deploy and measure laundry programmes that restore dignity and return hours of time to families.

Our Divya Manual Washing Machine is built for off-grid, water-scarce settings, and every deployment is grounded in local partnership, rigorous evidence and shared learning.
