Our Team

  • People are at the heart of everything we do, and listening to communities is integral to our work and design process.

    At The Washing Machine Project, we’ve gathered a team that wants to improve everything and everyone around them. People who are passionate about our mission. People who are driven to solve problems and constantly consider the best ways to improve the health and well-being of women.

    We're deeply proud of our values, which are intrinsic to our daily behaviour. We take them seriously because we want our culture to thrive:

    Women Empowerment — We prioritise women in everything we do. We want women to improve their physical or mental well-being through our products.

    Humanitarian Innovation — We are dedicated to finding solutions to the world’s biggest humanitarian problems through innovative and sustainable Engineering.

    Operating Sustainably — We take pride in developing sustainable solutions for our planet while simultaneously achieving our mission of empowering people.
