With the distribution of over 81,000 stoves to 600,000+ people in Central America, StoveTeam International has also kept over 1 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.  Today, StoveTeam's Development Director, Emily Cupo, spoke to us from California via Zoom to show how impactful our club's donations to StoveTeam have been.  Many Rotary clubs have partnered with StoveTeam  - please see StoveTeam's website for this and more about the organization.  https://www.stoveteam.org/our-rotary-partnerships  StoveTeam is a nonprofit organization started by a Rotarian in Eugene, Oregon that facilitates the placement of safe, affordable, fuel-efficient cookstoves in collaboration with local communities to support families and protect the environment.
Please visit StoveTeam's webpage see how impactful the organization's activities have been in improving the lives of people over five nations in Central America.  Please continue reading as Emily has shared ideas for further involvement of our club with some new projects.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to present to your club about StoveTeam International! We are grateful for the continued support your club has shown us and I was thrilled that the club responded positively to the presentation. I'd love to continue the conversation and collaborate with you, however that might work for you. I put together a few things for club members who might want to stay connected:
We also have a great project opportunity, 100 Fuel-Efficient Cookstoves For Families in Ixil Guatemala. We are working with the Palo Alto Rotary Club and Verra de Guatemala Rotary Club to complete this project and are still looking for fundraising support.
