The eco-stoves have a chimney which directs the smoke outside of their houses, so or children no longer inhale smoke and ashes. We are so grateful to everyone who donated and helped make this happen- thank you!!

The eco stoves are truly beautiful. They fire chamber has insulation made with cement, tile and clay which keeps the heat longer, thereby using 80% less wood than other stoves.

Dear Friends of the Guatemalan Project: thank you again and again. Because of your generosity and good will we were able to provide 132 families with a beautiful ecological stove that is already improving their health.

Hello friends,⁣
⁣
As many of you know, the Guatemalan Project is a non profit that I hold very dear to my heart. The volunteer director, my mentor and friend, is an incredible woman who is literally changing the world as we speak.⁣
⁣
She has identified a public health need in the village: that children and families are literally dying from the ash and smoke from the primitive stoves that they cook on every day. Beyond chronic long issues, women are risking their lives and their bodies by walking miles every day to chop wood and carry it home. ⁣
⁣
As I sit in my cozy home I feel incredibly blessed for the privileges I have that many do not. ⁣
⁣
We have just $700 dollars left to raise so that we can bring an eco-stove to every family in the village. This will enable wood to go further and for the stoves to ventilate out of houses so that children will no longer be so sick.⁣
⁣
Please consider donating to this important cause. We have just a few more days to raise the funds. Any little bit helps.⁣
⁣
Thank you and warmest of wishes in your holiday season,⁣
⁣
Lindy (volunteer)

We are $900 short of our goal- please help support this important project!!!⁣
⁣
The stoves will help families cook in a clean environment, free of smoke and ashes. We believe that this will help increase overall health and wellbeing, and decrease the lung related health issues rampant in our village. With the efficient use of wood, the stoves will also help preserve this precious natural resource.⁣

We are already more than halfway there- only $1500 left to raise... please help us: https://guatemalanproject.org/donate/⁣
⁣
We still see too many illnesses among children and women. Too many small children suffer from asthma, chronic coughing, and headaches. Too many women suffer from difficulty in breathing, muscular pain, and headaches.⁣
⁣
We believe that the probable cause for these illnesses are due to the handmade wooden stoves that 99% of the people of El Triunfo use to cook. The stoves produce a tremendous amount of smoke, ash, and heat.⁣
⁣
Please help us reach our goal! 👇https://guatemalanproject.org/donate/⁣
