You can see the ripple effects of that saved time. In Kenya’s Shangilia School, cutting washing time in half freed students for reading, football, chess, and study. Staff reported fewer aches and less stress about water access. In Uganda and Congo, families reported using saved hours for caregiving, and in some households, men began to share laundry duties — a small but telling shift in gender roles. There are economic gains, too. In Kampala, detergent spending dropped from around $63 to $20 per week after adopting the machine — savings that add up in households with annual incomes around $840.
