flatpack washing machine helps remote and impoverished communities save water and time

The Divya flatpack manual washing machine for remote areas helps impoverished communities save up to 50 percent of water use and 70 percent of their time compared to when they wash clothes by hand. Designed for families who may not have access to electricity or to electric appliances, the equipment has a capacity large enough for the laundry needs of a big household. It is modular, meaning it can be taken apart, so families can easily move it somewhere else or wherever they need it.
