Nicaragua: Healthy Stoves Healthy Families Benefit

This summer, TWP is partnering with the Department of Environmental & Radiological Health Sciences at Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct a follow up health study of families in Nicaragua who received our fuel-efficient cook stoves last year. This data will enable us to gain the support necessary to make this sustainable technology available to more families, saving lives while combating global climate change.

We need your help to raise funds for this important project! If you can donate services or items in good condition to the silent auction, please contact Erin McGuinn at emmcguinn@yahoo.com by April 22nd! We will thank you for your donation on the evening of our fundraiser. You will also be recognized on the health study website, www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/erhs/Nicaragua.
