Kuruluş
In many rural households, traditional wood-burning stoves are still used for
daily cooking, which generates high levels of indoor air pollution and
represents a serious risk to health, especially for women and children. This
project seeks to reduce these risks by promoting cleaner cooking alternatives
and better ventilation practices.
The project is carried out in collaboration with institutions and government
agencies of the State of Michoacán, through the Institute of Training for Work of
the State of Michoacán (ICATMI). With the support of international volunteers,
the project not only focuses on the physical installation of the stoves, but also
on raising awareness about their correct use, maintenance, and the
environmental and health benefits they provide.
Participating in this project offers volunteers the opportunity to contribute
directly to community well-being, environmental sustainability, and public
health improvement, while gaining meaningful cultural exchange experiences
in rural Mexico.

engagement process related to the ecological stoves. Activities include:

2.Traveling to selected communities to assist with the installation of the
ecological stoves in local households.
3.Explaining to community members the importance of using EEEAL instead of
