We continue to work with Indigenous communities in Central America, many of which have benefited from receiving energy efficient stoves thanks to this project. We have been checking the wood consumption of the stoves we have built so far and it is considerably less than before, as we thought.
The situation for poor families is particularly tough at the moment as food is very scarce, so the less time spent collecting firewood, more can be spent trying to work to get more food, or working in the fields.
Energy efficient stoves make a huge difference to the living conditions for these families with cleaner air in the home and free up more time for supporting the family.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
