Our film ‘Rooted’ just became available to watch at the link in our bio 🎬🎬

6. Advancing Environmental and Human Health. For 25 years, we have been working with our partners and local community members to design clean cookstoves that greatly reduce deadly indoor air pollution, deforestation, and high fuel costs.The Justa Stove helps protect the environment and improves people’s health and economy:

5. Doña Justa. Doña Justa Nuñez is one of the rare ones. Fed up with respiratory issues that plagued her and her friends in her community, she launched a women-led initiative to get smoke out of people’s kitchens. Driven by a vision of better health and a cleaner environment, she got the attention of nonprofit organizations working with her local church, who set out to design a better wood-burning cookstove in her village.

What a crew. What a beautiful community. What a blast it was to be with you all this Sunday. Thank you for helping us celebrate two and a half decades of our partnerships. We are so grateful and words can do no justice to how lucky we are to do this work 💚 Cheers to the next 25 years of helping people and the planet. 🥂

At the beginning of the year, in El Salvador, we had the privilege to visit a new community women’s group called: “Asociación de Desarrollo Comunal Integral de Mujeres Emprendedoras” - ADECIME, in Caserio Hacienda La Labor. This group of 50 #women are working as co-managers of the buffer zone of La Labor (40 hectares), where they are working on creating fire breaks, planted 200 trees for reforestation, and are protecting their water basin that supplies 3 surrounding communities.

We’ve got some special guests in the house all the way from Honduras and El Salvador! This weekend we celebrate 25 years of partnership with them 😎
