Stoves For Haiti - We did it! Thanks, everyone!

We just want to say thank you so much to our supporters in the #StovesForHaiti campaign, which was launched on January 12th to remember Haiti.

We officially ended the campaign this past week (even though donations are still rolling in!), and are excited to say that on our last day, January 31st, we broke our $20,000 goal!

Many, many thanks to all of you who spread the word, raised funds, and sponsored a stove yourself. We could not have done it without your efforts. Thank you for supporting The Adventure Project, and even more thanks for bringing over 1,000 families these revolutionary cookstoves.

And if you’re still interested in giving or having your community give, feel free to do so through the campaign page or through our website at TheAdventureProject.org.

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. With the money saved from the cost-efficient and fuel-efficient stove, mothers can send their children to school, start small businesses, or purchase more nutritious foods.
