Annual Give Back Project
 Friends Through Guatemalan Adoption invites you to join our 7th Annual Holiday Giving Back Project in conjunction with Behrhorst Partners for Development.
Each year families like you help to change lives of rural Guatemalan
families! This year we are funding the installation of and training on
the use and maintenance of fuel efficient vented stoves. As a thank you
to any family who funds a stove, we will send you a child's Guatemala
soccer jersey so that each time it is worn it serves as a reminder of
another family's life changed by your family's generosity!
Stove Funding Benefits:
· 70% less wood is burned which results in less deforestation which can lead to mudslides and crop loss.
· Women gain two working days per week that would have been spent chopping wood.
· Venting the smoke outside reduces the risk for upper respiratory problems which are the #1 killer of children in Guatemala.
· The vented smoke greatly reduces issues of glaucoma and eye infections.
· The risk of serious disfiguring and fatal burns are eliminated as the stove eliminates the open flames.
· By
ensuring the active participation and involvement of the communities at
all stages of the project implementation, we leave a legacy which puts
power into the hands of these communities and creates role models for
others.
So how can you help? The total cost of an installed stove and training on the use and maintenance of the stove is $150. Please click here to download your pledge form and learn more how you can give. We thank you on behalf of the the families in rural Guatemala who will benefit from your generosity. |
