I am a proud Guatemalan Farmer and teacher in San Antonio Aguas Calientes. My family is part of a Mayan Kaqchikel community and since I was very young I saw my father and my grandfather work hard to allow me to attend school. Full interview on our blog, https://t.co/5YkkyZO7eo

In Nicaragua, our External Supervisor, Yader, braved treacherous roads on his motorbike during a major rain event. ☔ Yader successfully visited several homes to assess the use of their fuel-efficient cookstoves and begin a new set of data collection for stoves in Nicaragua.

Each day, families in Central America require a staggering 70 lbs. of firewood to meet their daily cooking needs. Our Ecocina & Justa cookstoves require 50% less firewood than open-fires, giving families back their time and protecting forests from devastating deforestation. 🌱✨
