Dear Friends and Supporters,
In recent months, we’ve continued with our preparation of the 50 improved cookstoves project in Candelaria. The community leaders are excited about starting the project and we are preparing to implement baseline surveys in the upcoming weeks. The information collected will help us better understand how people are currently cooking and evaluate the impact of the new stoves on the community.
Additionally, we are preparing for the improved cookstove fair to be hosted in the community next month. Above, is a photo from an improved coostove fair in the neighboring community of El Balsamo from 2013. Community cookstove fairs are a wonderful opportunity for families to learn about the function and benefits of the improved cookstoves, try cooking on one, and determine which improved cookstove best meets the family’s cooking needs.
Stove construction begins shortly and your generous support helps us build 50 smoke free kitchens for rural Nicaraguan families.
