Detailed Description

People all over not only desire but also need clean clothes. We can hope to reduce the time, effort, and resources needed to perform these tasks by understanding local customs, practices, and geography. We can hope to fill the void and modernise an age-old process for people who need it the most. “When companies design products and services for the poor, they often think about making them as low-cost as possible. But whether you’re tapping a market opportunity or addressing a social need, it’s important to realise that people living in poverty value quality design. Quality design doesn’t mean that goods and services need to cost more.” - IDEO.
