First batch of student's washing machines shipped to 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.

Former University of Bath student, Navjot Sawhney, set up the Washing Machine Project in 2018 after being inspired by a salad spinner.

Since then volunteers and businesses have given their time for free to help make the low-cost machines.

Mr Sawhney said he was "so proud" of what had been achieved.

He said up to 70% of the world's population do not have access to electric washing machines.

Multipliers are a distinctive feature in SLOTXO that can multiply your winnings by pre-defined numbers Not every slot game has a multiplier. But it's pretty common. In some cases, they can increase your win by 100x or 1000x, so the more you bet, the more you win. However, keep in mind that the bigger the bet, the better. It doesn't increase your winning frequency.

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.

Mr Sawhney came up with the idea after quitting his engineering job in Wiltshire to volunteer in India, where he saw the struggle of his next-door neighbour - a woman called Divya.

"It was through the frustration of seeing her daily struggles, hand washing her and her family's clothes, that I promised her a manual washing machine," he said.
