 We want to invite you and your business to take part in Global Washout Day. A worldwide employee engagement day, supported by Whirlpool Corporation Foundation, to raise awareness about the burden of hand washing clothes and to drive change. What is Global Washout Day? A simple, impactful day of action where employees, in their place of work, spend a few minutes hand washing clothes, reflecting on the daily challenges faced by millions. By participating, your company can: • Raise awareness about the burden of hand washing clothes. • Create community through a shared experience. • Advocate for sustainable solutions for displaced and low-income communities. Join us, from Australia to California and let’s create a wave of action across 18 time zones 🌍 Thanks so much to our community who has already signed up, including Orange Sky Australia and our amazing partners at RS to name a few! If you'd like to sign your business up and get employees hand washing clothes for one day, get in touch with us, or comment below!👇 #GlobalWashoutDay #SocialImpact #EmployeeEngagement

Subjected the Divya hand operated washing machine to Technology Applicability Framework assessment. Targeting the vulnerable women and children, the technology is intended to ease and reduce time spent on washing clothes. Results will be shared to inform technology uptake and scale up! #TAF https://lnkd.in/dxQvZX68

“Friday” may not perfectly rhyme with “dance,” but that didn’t stop RS Scandinavia from coming together! Despite the lack of rhymes, they participated in our global challenge, Active for Change, hosted by GoJoe, which raises funds for The Washing Machine Project 🧺. Was it graceful? We won't comment 👀 Was it enjoyable? The team enjoyed every minute 😅 Did they break a sweat? You bet 🥵 Our Active for Change Challenge is a light-hearted, team-based virtual activity event happening throughout October at RS. It emphasises teamwork, motivating one another to stay active while supporting our social impact partner, The Washing Machine Project. 🕺 💃 Go RS Scandinavia 🙌 #WeAreRS #OneTeam #ActiveForChange #TWMP

The world’s first flat-packable manual washing machine, the Divya, is a game-changer in frugal innovation. The Washing Machine Project is a United Kingdom-based grassroots organization that aims to alleviate the burden of handwashing clothes “by providing remote, low-income, and displaced communities with an accessible, off-grid washing solution.” A partnership with The Whirlpool Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Whirlpool Corporation, helped address the scale challenge. The team increased the production of machines from one a day to one every five minutes. Distribution of the Divya machine is targeted at underserved populations in rural and urban areas in India, Mexico, Brazil, the Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Uganda. The Divya machine is just the tip of the iceberg—future goals include developing drying options for washed clothes too! Photos: The Washing Machine Project

Meet Namuyomba & Namutebi from Twezimbire mu Mazima women’s group that received our Divya manual washing machine as we did distributions with RS in Uganda💙 We ensured every user had all the essential training they need with basic tools to maintain their Divya machine throughout it’s life cycle 🫧🧺 Our machine is allowing them to re-claim more of their time back for their studies and aspirations in life, rather than doing the back-breaking chore that is hand-washing clothes for hours. #humanitarian #sustainability #laundry #innovation #washingmachine
