The project involves the distribution and installation of efficient cookstoves to households across Guatemala, a country in which close to half of the population live in poverty. Stoves distributed by the initiative reduce the amount of firewood required by households by up to 58%, compared to when using open fire.
Replacing conventional cooking methods with more efficient stoves in Guatemala cuts the amount of fuel needed to cook, transforms the health & wellbeing of communities and eases pressure on nearby forests. In addition through the reduction of deforestation the stoves reduce emissions that contribute towards global warming, tackling climate change from multiple angles.
