For millions around the world, washing clothes is a physically demanding and time-consuming task. Navjot Sawhney, founder of The Washing Machine Project, is dedicated to changing that.

“The ability to wash clothes, using an electric machine or a launderette, is something many of us take for granted,” Sawhney explained. “Yet for 60% of the global population, handwashing is a physically draining task that costs individuals, predominantly women and girls, up to 20 hours of their week. It affects people’s time, health, and ability to pursue an education, work, or even rest.”
