Today is the two-year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, and we want to turn it into a day of record-breaking impact.
It’s a simple idea. We are each finding 2 friends. Two friends who will recognize the anniversary by sponsoring a $20 charcoal-efficient stove for a family in Haiti. And the movement begins when those two friends reach out to their 2 friends.
These stoves are revolutionary. By sponsoring one, you’ll be helping a family to breathe easier, cook faster, and increase their income by saving on fuel costs. The money saved is money used to send their kids to school, start small businesses, and eat more nutritious food. The stoves are produced locally in Port au Prince and sold by women entrepreneurs. It’s a sustainable business model providing a life-saving product.
So we are marking this anniversary with a ripple movement of friends.
2 years, 2 friends, 2 stoves.
Buy your stove. Join our movement. And find your two friends.
