The vented (smokeless) stove program implements new wood-burning smokeless stoves with chimneys, that drastically reduce smoke inhalation and are environmentally friendly. The stove package includes the materials, construction, transport, and installation of the stoves in the high mountain villages. 

A donation of just $250 USD provides a Mayan family a smokeless stove, and a team of professionals who come into the home and provide a comprehensive medical evaluation and establish practices to establish healthy nutrition.
