Summary
Traditional wood burning stoves found in rural homes and schools in Guatemala emit deadly indoor air pollution. As a result, respiratory illness is the leading cause of death for children under 5. Safe stoves provide extremely poor, rural families with immediate, lifesaving relief for women and children, the primary victims of this deadly indoor pollution. These stoves utilize chimneys to remove smoke from the home and 50% more efficient, preserving the environment and subsequent deforestation.
