STOVE TEAMS

IEP's stove teams improve the lives of the families in Chimaltenango, Guatemala by installing wood-saving, safe cooking stoves and water filters. The stoves eliminate the problem of smoke in the home, use more than 60% less wood and greatly reduce the risk of burns in adults and children. Without the need to gather wood, women regain a full day of their time each week. The water filters provide clean, safe drinking water to the families, preventing waterborne sicknesses.
