COOKING SHOULDN’T KILL

Smoke from indoor cooking fires is a leading cause of death of children under age five.

To address this health problem, Nancy Hughes, a 70 year old widow, transformed a small Rotary club project into StoveTeam International.

StoveTeam International saves lives and forests by starting sustainable factories to make fuel-efficient Ecocina stoves.

Ecocina stoves reduce carbon emissions by 70%. They are nearly smokeless. Field and laboratory tests show Ecocinas use 50% less wood, thus reducing deforestation.

Ecocinas prevent burns as they are stable and safe to the touch.

In five years, StoveTeam International has started six factories in five countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua.

StoveTeam International has benefited more than 225,000 individuals.

Stove Team’s current project: Stoves and improved living conditions in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The state of Oaxaca has the highest percentage of burn victims in Mexico. The Mixtec region of Oaxaca has the highest rate of deforestation in the world.

Most indigenous women in this area cook over open fires using wood as fuel. StoveTeam International hopes to change that by starting a new factory in the Mixteca.

This will be the first Ecocina factory owned by a woman.

The Dining for Women project will employ indigenous women to promote and sell Ecocina stoves throughout Oaxaca.

This project will: -Create job opportunities for women -Teach women how to use the stove-Expand stove distribution

The project addresses the following UN Millennium Development Goals:

#3 Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women - Women gain new skills and generate income -Women gain self-confidence and improve their status in the community by becoming entrepreneurs. -Time spent gathering firewood and cooking is reduced, freeing women to spend more time on educational and economic activities.

#4 Reduce Child Mortality - The Ecocina cookstove prevents illnesses and deaths by eliminating smoke in the home and reducing harmful emissions. -The stove encloses the fire, protecting women and children from burns.

#7 Ensure Environmental Sustainability -The Ecocina helps reduce deforestation and forest degradation. -The stove reduces carbon and particulate matter emissions, improving air quality.

Your support will save forests and help women lead healthier lives.
