An Indian- origin Sikh has been conferred the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Point of Light Award for his ‘ Washing Machine Project’ which empowers women by providing them with an alternative solution to manual washing.
London-born Navjot Sawhney is an engineer, whose hand-cranked washing machine is benefitting over 1,000 families without access to an electric machine in underdeveloped countries or refugee camps, including humanitarian aid centers in Poland for Ukrainian refugees.
