We are delighted to announce that The Washing Machine Project has won The Nichols Award 2022.
With £20,000 of prize money dedicated to the winning entry, as well as providing acknowledgement and recognition, The Nichols Award will enable further inspirational growth, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit for years to come.
By providing displaced and low-income communities with an accessible, off-grid washing solution, the Washing Machine Project’s mission is to empower women by alleviating the burden of unpaid labour through sustainable solutions. The Washing Machine Project has successfully carried out pilots in Iraq and Lebanon and received orders from multiple countries in excess of 3,000 washing machines. In 2022, the Washing Machine Project’s plans are to fulfil these orders and scale-up across numerous countries.
