St. John's University Clean Cookstove Fundrasier
The Cookstove Project
Professor Kevin McShane's Health Care Ethics Class at St John's University, is raising $1,000.00 to build 100 clean cookstoves for a community in rural Uganda.
Here's The Cookstove Project story:
Globally, 2.6 billion people cook their food indoors using a three-stone open fire. Open fire cooking results in nearly 3.8 million premature deaths every year.
Smoke from indoor open fires causes heart disease, lung cancer, COPD, and stroke, resulting in more deaths than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined!
Using locally sourced materials, we help build clean cookstoves. These clean cookstoves have a big impact on women's and children’s health and climate change.
The clean cookstoves we build cost $10.00 a stove; they both reduce carbon emissions and provide families with a safe and healthy cooking environment.
The Cookstove Project works in Nepal & Uganda. We're a partner with the Clean Cooking Alliance, an alliance of similar type organizations working around the world in Africa, South America, and Asia. Collectively, we are making a difference!

Nearly 100 percent of the money we raise goes to these life-changing clean cookstoves.
