Mother’s Day With SHE

This Mother’s Day, please consider giving the gift of solar cooking to mothers like Eva, featured below, to free them of the burden of cooking with dirty fuels on inefficient stoves. Household air pollution from dirty cookstoves causes 4 million premature deaths per year, mainly from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases (World Health Organization). It is also the leading cause of blindness in developing countries, contributes to low birth weights, and causes half of all pneumonia deaths for children under 5. Burns from cooking fires can result in scarring, loss of movement, and accounts for an important percentage of burn-related deaths (Clean Cooking Alliance). Your donations to SHE will allow mothers like Eva, featured in the video below, to cook with safe and healthy solar cookers, reducing toxic smoke exposure for themselves, the babies they carry while cooking, and their other family members.
