First batch of hand-cranked washing machines, invented by a Bath student, sent to a camp in northern Iraq

The first batch of 30 hand-cranked washing machines, invented by a student for those living in poverty, has been sent to a camp in northern Iraq.

Working with humanitarian charity Care International he is now aiming to deliver 7,500 of his manual washer and dryers to those most in need in 10 countries including Lebanon, Kenya and India over the next three years. Named the Divya, in her honour, the "robust, simple to use and easily repairable" machine has been tested in countries around the world."Hand washing clothes is very time consuming, and nobody likes hand washing their clothes, so as a problem everybody understands it," he said.
