I got a letter earlier today from my friend Erin from the Womens' Refugee Commission. They've long been on a global quest to bring safer cooking stoves to women around the globe. most of the problems women and their children face are from poor living conditions; such as only having a charcoal stove for heating and cooking. in case you don't know, charcoal coats the lungs like it does their houses. the children get lung disease and tuberculosis just like their mothers. Mainly because many of them are strapped to their moms, backs while she is working over that charcoal stove.
They are the Youngest Casualties, and we should start helping to prevent these casualties, today.
There are safer stoves and methods of cooking and heating for these families. are you aware that a parabolic reflector stove can be used in many of these situations without any damage to the people or the planet ?
This is what the Women need - an alternative to Fire and Death
