    About this project

    Lydia M. from Asociación Pop-Wuj - Spanish School Guatemala is responsible for this project
    Most families in Guatemala still cook over an open fire which cause a lot of smoke related illnesses that are one of the leading cause of death among children in Guatemala. With a proper stove it not also prevents these illnesses but also makes their family home a much safer place for children, lowers fuel consumption and improves financial welfare.

    The Pop Wuj Stove project started in 1992. Since then many students and volunteers came to Quetzaltenango (Xela) building stoves to help hundreds of families to give them a healthier and safer home.

    In 2009 we spent over 3 months with the school and the community and fell in love with that beautiful country and people. For us it was such a great experience to actively help families and see the improvements in their lives.

    We want to make sure the Safe Stove Project continues constructing stoves to help more families in Guatemala.
