A $500 donation can help us build two fuel-efficient cook stoves. These stoves result in a 60% reduction in firewood use and remove smoke from the home, dramatically improving respiratory health of women and children. In order to reduce the pressure on forests and improve family health, EcoLogic and its partner in Guatemala, Forest Commission of Totonicapán, will introduce improved wood stoves to replace the common practice of cooking with an open pit fire in the kitchen.
Our mission is to advance the conservation of threatened ecosystems in rural areas where poverty is extreme by promoting sustainable livelihoods that affirm local cultures and by strengthening community participation in natural resource management.
