How a Manual Washing Machine Can Help Reclaim Time, Improve Lives

To help reclaim time and improve lives, the Whirlpool Foundation and The Washing Machine Project aim to impact 150,000 people by delivering the world’s first flat packable manual washing machine to underserved communities globally over the next five years.
