Guatemala Partnership ... A "Hot Commodity" - Advent project support for fuel-efficient stoves

November 16, 2023 Midweek - This holiday season, many of us will prepare our feasts standing at a fancy stove-top, with double ovens and microwaves at the ready. But for many people around the world, their cooking reality is an open fire on a dirt floor in a smoke-filled kitchen. For Christmas, please consider giving the gift of a fuel-efficient stove to an indigenous family in Guatemala.

Each stove costs $250. Donors cover $200, while the recipient invests $50 of her own money toward the full cost. Because they spend so much less on firewood, women recoup their $50 investment in just five months. To date, more than 600 stoves have been delivered to Association members and there continues to be a waiting list of women who have saved up their share of the cost and are waiting for a stove.

This makes a great holiday gift for your loved ones who don't need one more "thing." Shares are available and donations of any amount are welcome. We also have lovely gift cards!

Why are these stoves great? Learn more and make a gift ... thank you for your support!
