How a Manual Washing Machine Can Help Reclaim Time, Improve Lives
(Family Features) An estimated 60% of the global population wash clothes by hand and the burden falls mostly on women and girls, which means spending up to 20 hours each week doing laundry instead of going to work or school. 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.
