The Washing Machine Project being implemented in Iraq feature story (ITV News)
As featured on ITV News:
“Fifty new low-cost washing machines designed by a British university student are to be installed at an Iraq refugee camp this week.
The hand-cranked machines designed by University of Bath’s Nav Sawhney are hoped to help families living in the camps who struggle to hand-wash their clothes.
The 29-year-old named his Divya washing machines after a woman in southern India who told him the physical struggles she and others like her faced when washing clothes without a machine.
London-born Mr Sawhney, an engineer who is studying MSc humanitarian, conflict & development, said his project will now help displaced families in Kurdish and federal Iraq.
The 50 machines will be installed with the help of the Iraq Response Innovation Lab and Oxfam.”
