About this Gift
In the most impoverished areas of Guatemala, two-thirds of the population have upper respiratory infections, heart and lung disease, eye problems, and back pain as a result of cooking with open fires in enclosed areas. Carbon dioxide and black carbon from open fires contributes to climate change, and collecting wood for fires can lead to deforestation. A gift of an Eco Stove in Guatemala provides a cost-efficient way to cook, while alleviating the health and environmental problems caused by open fires.
