We met Delva in one of the largest tent camps in Haiti. He had a new charcoal efficient stove and was making a breakfast of beans and rice for his two kids. The stove saves him 20% of this expenses that would normally go to buying charcoal. He can use that extra money for food.

You can sponsor a stove for a family in Haiti for $20. Visit here to donate, or buy a gift card and donate in someones honor (today’s the last day to order a card to arrive by XMAS). Each stove comes with a ID, so you know when it was built and where it went. Pretty much the best gift, ever (if we do say so ourselves)…

We love this pic of Darline!

Give $20 to sponsor a stove in Haiti this holiday.

Tomorrow is the last day of the Stoves For Haiti campaign in remembrance of the earthquake in Haiti two years ago and the half a million people still living in tents. We’re less than $2,500 from our goal of providing 1,000 families with cleaner air, better health, and increased income.

Charcoal-efficient stoves are helping mothers provide safer homes for their children while also providing families with increased disposable incomes.
