Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible

3. Salud y bienestar

20,000+ stoves

distributed, improving health conditions by reducing indoor smoke in homes  

8. Trabajo decente y crecimiento económic

Jobs created

in stove distribution and for organising trainings, boosting local economies  

13. Acción por el clima

85,000 tonnes of CO2e

reduced on average each year

15. Vida de ecosistemas terrestres

58% less fuel wood  

is used, resulting in money savings and reduced deforestation  

La solución

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.

El impacto

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.
