Fundraising for The Washing Machine Project Foundation
Story
Our purpose is making amazing happen and thats why weve chosen to partner with The Washing Machine Project and The Washing Machine Project Foundation as our first global charity partner. This small charity has developed an innovative, off-grid solution to help people in hard-hit communities around the world to wash their clothes. They share our ambition to inspire a more sustainable world through education and innovative solutions that improve lives and were really excited about supporting them over the next three years.
Over the next three years, our support will help The Washing Machine Project to:
- Improve the lives of 100,000 people
- Develop their innovative engineering solution: an affordable, manual crank, off-grid washing machine
- Distribute the washing machine to people in hard-hit communities in 10 countries
- Raise awareness of the global issue of handwashing: 70% of the world’s population do not have access to a washing machine
- Remove the chronic pain that inflicts women who spend up to 20 hours per week handwashing clothes
- Enable children to benefit from an education instead of spending hours everyday handwashing clothes
