Stoves in Nicaragua
So far this year 18 stoves have been constructed by volunteers in the community of Chiriza, Nicaragua!! The stoves cut back on the wood used to cook in turn decreasing deforestations and the costs associated with buying wood to cook. Further, the families are no longer breathing the damaging smoke emitted when they cook and the chance of being burned or having a fire in the home is decresased exponentially.
By the end of they year, we will have a total of 20 stoves built and the efforts of Phoenix staff to support and educate the families on how to use the stoves has been a success. Thanks to Amina, Tom, Steve and Daniel (the stove masters who built nine stoves), Sidney, Tara, Sneha and Sushuma, Hyesung and Raymond!
