About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

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.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will actively participate in the installation and community engagement process related to the ecological stoves. Activities include: 1. Receiving and participating in training sessions on the use and installation of the EEEAL. 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 traditional open-fire stoves (fogones), highlighting health and environmental benefits. 4.Sharing and reinforcing the information obtained during the previous training with families and community members.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a shared house together with other international volunteers. Basic facilities such as electricity, water, bathrooms, and a common living area will be available. Food will be provided for the volunteers in the form of basic ingredients and supplies. Volunteers will be responsible for preparing and cooking their own meals.
