Families Are Enjoying Cooking With Their Clean Stoves
As a result of the generosity of an anonymous donor, we added a new service to our pediatric HIV care program. In addition to ongoing health care services, clean cooking stoves and education was provided to vulnerable families living in impoverished communities in Zambia. Over the last four winter months, 1000 stoves were provided. Family members love their new stoves as these keep them warm, cook food faster, and save money on fuel.
Why are these stoves better? The stoves are built using patented air regulation, technology, minimize CO, PM, and greenhouse gas emissions leading to better health, savings, climate change mitigation, and everyday convenience.
Next steps: Our goal is to provide 10,000 stoves and education on proper use to benefit 50,000 family members in the next six months.
The provision of stoves is in addition to the ongoing provision of food, medicines, education, and health care services provided to 450 HIV+ children and their families enrolled in this program.
Thanks for giving the gift of health to hundreds of children and their families.
