Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Affecting the indigenous families of rural Honduras, these stoves have many benefits: 1) Indoor wood smoke is a greater health issue than malaria, therefore are direct health benefits. 2) Burning fuel in a much more efficient manner they reduce CO2 emissions. 3) Using less fuel they in turn become an indirect income generation tool as villagers have to buy less fuel or spend less time collecting fuel. 4) They are also a tool for reduced cutting of forests for the same reason.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Trained locals will train others and due to efficiency of the stoves they pay for themselves within a relatively short time. With the 40 there to demonstrate this, they will quickly become the norm. This will have huge health impacts for the kids.

Project Message

The people want to use less wood to cook though cannot afford the stoves so they are in a lose-lose cycle, they either cut down more trees or buy more wood to cook in an unhealthy, uneconomic manner.
- Enrique Carrillo, Community liaison

Latest Update from the Field

Amazing Support for the GVI Charitable Trust

By Alice Burrow - GVI Charitable Trust, February 01, 2012 10:41 AM

We would like to share the most recent trustee report from the GVI Charitable Trust. This report covers the six month period from July to December 2011.

This has been by far the most successful period. In six months we have raised nearly as much as we did the whole previous year. This increase in funding has brought a corresponding increase in the impact we have been able to create on our programs around the world.

During this period we have invested in sustainable education across Latin America. This includes support for the elderly in Guatemala and income generation schemes to support education in Honduras and Ecuador. In Mexico we have worked with a community to establish a recycling centre and in Kenya our partners in Mombasa will now see impoverished students complete primary education to earn qualifications for the first time.

These are just a few highlights of an amazing, productive and rewarding six months. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and played a crucial role in these achievements.
