120 Stoves - Every Single One Makes a Difference.

By Kimberly Lagomarsino | Senior Program Officer

We have a lot to be thankful for this year. We know the very tough circumstances facing communities and families on the ground in rural Guatemala, but we are encouraged when we see families doing better because of high impact programs like safe, energy efficient stoves. So far this year, we have been able to positively impact the health and well-being of 20 families through our stove program. This brings our total number of stoves constructed to date to 120 - benefiting more than 1,000 people in Guatemala!

Here are the basics of why our clean cookstove program is so special:

  • All 120 stoves are in use.
  • It saves lives and improves important health outcomes for entire families - especially young children.
  • It saves money.
  • It saves time.
  • It saves the environment.
  • It's built by local people for local needs.
  • It supports our other home-based programs, including: Organic Home Gardens, Infant and Toddler Feeding, Water Filters and Eco-toilets.

We think this is all pretty awesome, but there are more families we need to reach. You can help us do this by sharing your support of our project with your social network, friends, family and colleagues this holiday season. Together, we can accomplish even more and stove-by-stove we can positively change more lives.

We appreciate your continued generosity and support. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
