(MENAFN- 3BL)
Earlier this year, The Washing Machine Project, a grassroots organization that provides off-grid manual washing machines to people in low-income and displaced communities, announced it is collaborating with the Whirlpool Foundation to deliver thousands of manual washing machines to communities and households across the world over the next five years. The work is expected to impact an estimated 150,000 people and address a significant barrier to their advancement and quality of life. Recognized by The Washing Machine Project and the Whirlpool Foundation as the 'Global Washing Divide,' this collaboration will focus on the estimated 60% of the world's population–or 5 billion people–that rely on washing clothes by hand.
Navjot Sawhney, Founder of The Washing Machine Project, and Deb O'Connor, Managing Director of the Whirlpool Foundation, joined Purpose360 to tell the story of how they came together to address the Global Washing Divide, the strengths each of their organizations bring to the table and the impact they are making together to reclaim time and improve lives.
