Over half of Guatemalans cook their food and heat water over open or barely contained fires, filling their small, one room homes with eye burning smoke, leading to chronic respiratory disease, blindness and severe burns in both children and adults. Small children, who are typically carried on their mother’s backs, are chronically exposed to smoke and toxic fumes.
Our mission is to build stoves from locally purchased materials that will improve the health and quality of living of the Guatemalan people. The st oves are built by local laborers and are designed to burn efficiently, greatly reducing the amount of wood needed. They have chimneys that remove smoke and soot.
The need can be overwhelming, but we stay focused and make the improvements one stove at a time. We have now completed over 1000 stoves.
Please consider being a part of the journey by donating.

There is a severe shortage of suitable, safe and affordable land on which the poor can build a home. I located a lady that owns some land and is willing to sell for a much lower price than anyone else because she believes in what we are doing for the poor. We are going to call this land San Rolando for the poor. It will eventually be home to around 1000 families. It will be a self sustaining community with green houses to raise Vegetables to use and to sell. We need about $300,000.00 to make this happen. That's 300 people or families giving $1000.00 to make this happen. Spread the word and maybe there are others willing to help. {email us for more information}. Thank you!!!
We encourage you to research the area to find out the history of the people.
