Rotarians help construct the factory in Guatemala dedicated to building the Ecocina stove.

The roots of StoveTeam began when Nancy Hughes was volunteering with the Cascade Medical Team at a hospital in the high country of Guatemala. On numerous trips she's made, she's developed long-lasting friendships with Guatemala people who support the efforts of StoveTeam. Those contacts are now helping StoveTeam build and fund the new factory dedicated to building the Ecocina stove.

A Rotary International Matching Grant between 11 clubs in Southern California and the Guatemala Sur Rotary club will be funding the initial order of 1,585 stoves for indigent families; helping over 12,000 family members live healthier and more productive lives
