Our clean cookstove program started with Doña (Mrs) Justa Nuñez, a mother of six living on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, #Honduras. Justa was a community leader concerned with the health of women in her community. She worked with several clean cooking programs before coaching TWP on what Honduran women looked for in a cookstove. After our design evolved to meet her recommendations, it became the most widely adopted firewood cookstove in Central America. So we named it after her…
Super excited about this news! The @greatoutdoorscolorado board awarded a $55,000 grant to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in partnership with Trees, Water & People, @ancestrallands and the @montezumalandconservancy to create sustainable resources for traditional harvest of culturally important plants.
Make an impact and help provide a life-changing experience to Upward Bound students! Trees, Water, and People and @twptourstravelwithpurpose are partnering with the @csu_upward_bound to make it possible for first-generation and low-income high school students to go on a life-changing adventure.
During our visit to #Honduras this spring, many maestros fogoneros mentioned that the income from stove building eliminated the need to consider #migration. Stove income typically supplements a family’s agricultural income, from coffee, vegetables, and basic grains, helping make ends meet.
We can’t protect the environment unless we’re generating benefits for people in the process. Our Justa cookstove program has evolved to include a fully trained network of master stove builders - maestros fogoneros - all over #Honduras. These builders are the engine that improves the quality of life for tens of thousands of people per year.
Recently @treeswaterpeople staff, board and volunteers planted almost 400 ponderosa pine seedlings in the Cameron Peak burn scar. 🌲
