Many newer villas and villas in compounds have dishwashers and dryers.
I don't use a dishwasher, and only use dryers when it's raining or too cold to hang things out, which is seldom.
Dryers shrink clothes, make pills on some fabrics, cause static electricity in others, wastes electricity and heats up the room they are in (which 9 months out of the hot year isn't appreciated). Drying clothes in sunlight purifies them (if you are muslim and concerned about tahara or ritual purity) as well it whitens the whites. I'm from the countryside so I enjoy seeing clean clothes on the line.
There are washers that also dry and washers that are 'stacked' with a dryer above them if you don't have space side by side. You can usually find some handyman to get a washer hooked up. The easiest place after the kitchen would be a bathroom.
Since you dislike live in housemaids and want to teach hour kids how to be responsible, taking turns (parents and kids) doing the dishes is the best alternative.
