LiUNA! Local 183 has generously donated $5,000 to the Guatemala Stove Project, enough to fund the construction of 14 efficient masonry cookstoves! These stoves provide families in rural Guatemala with safer cooking conditions, improved health, and reduced daily wood use. Support like this makes a direct, measurable difference for women and children most affected by indoor smoke. We extend our sincere thanks to LiUNA! Local 183 for helping strengthen communities and making this life-changing work possible.
