In Guatemala, as in many other countries, breathing in the toxic fumes while preparing meals puts Guatemalan families at risk for respiratory illnesses, blindness, and burns on a daily basis. It is estimated that 77% of Guatemalan families use wood as their main fuel source. To diminish this health hazard, Fe Viva is installing efficient wood burning stoves with ventilation pipes to prevent smoke from filling the home. These highly energy efficient wood burning stoves use 40 percent less wood than conventional stoves and get hot enough to cook quicker. These stoves will benefit local families in the communities by providing cost efficient cooking and better health.
