The budget has fluctuated a great deal over the latter part of 2008 & 2009 so your dollar goes a little further right now. The budget includes manufacturing the stoves and hoods, transporting them to the village huts and providing training to the villagers on use and maintenance. We have contacts in Kisumu, Kenya and in Kericho, Kenya for trades people who can craft these items and train the villagers to maintain them.

Please help to save the environment at the same time you are saving the lives and providing comfort to the villagers who do the cooking for their families. This simple project has broad social and environmental ramifications, the benefits of which will be felt for many years. The villagers would be grateful for your support.
