Adopt 5 Rocket Eco Stoves $75 Covers All Production and Training Costs
“The Rocket Stoves are an excellent means to reduce the cutting of trees to produce charcoal. The villagers have taken to this program extremely well. The stoves are produced using local materials and labor, in a process that is hands-on and fun, especially for the kids. We hope that this program will reach the same success that our bio-sand filters have achieved, so that we not only plant trees but also protect the existing forest cover. ” Elizabeth Sipple, Director of AMURT’s Environmental Programs

But Jergens (my son) kept crying for it, and since it is AMURT I let him go. Several months later I had to go and apologize to the teacher. The results were very positive – Jergens became very focused and respectful.”
