It's not just about the number of stoves we build, it's about the lifesaving impact we are having on the most vulnerable families and children. As we continue our efforts to improve the health and well-being of children and their families, we always strive to reach those with the greatest need. Eliminating smoke in the home with safer cookstoves helps us prevent serious respiratory illness and aids our on-going efforts to save the lives of extremely fragile children who already have severely compromised immune systems. Our close relationship with communities helps us reach the highest-need children and families first.
It's also about the quality and longevity of every stove. The long-term sustainability of our safer, more energy efficient cookstoves is important to us. This means that we work hard to ensure that the stoves already in place are maintained properly and continue protecting each family even after being in use for many years. Our local masons take pride in their craft and building solid, high quality stoves that stand the test of time and continual daily usage. In addition, our strong program oversight and presence on-the-ground allows us to frequently follow-up with families to help ensure the longevity of each stove.
We can't do it without you. Your continued support allows us to maintain and expand this lifesaving program now and in the future. Our sincere gratitude!
