COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: HELPS' COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVING HEALTH & SAFETY IN RURAL AREAS BY INSTALLING FUEL-EFFICIENT COOK STOVES, WATER FILTERS & OTHER HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. THE OPEN FIRES TRADITIONALLY UTILIZED FOR COOKING INSIDE OF HOMES LEADS TO DIVESTING RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS & SEVERE BURNS. ADDITIONALLY, WATERBORNE DISEASES ARE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN GUATEMALA, WHERE MILLIONS LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER. HELPS VOLUNTEERS INSTALL ONIL STOVES & WATER FILTERS IN THOUSANDS OF POVERTY STRICKEN GUATEMALAN HOMES EACH YEAR THEREBY REDUCING HEALTH PROBLEMS & CREATING NEW SOCIAL & ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR FEMALES. SINCE 2002, MORE THAN 231,000 ONIL COOK STOVES AND MORE THAN 205,400 ONIL WATER FILTERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. IN 2023, HELPS DISTRIBUTED 2,139 ONIL COOK STOVES & 1,463 ONIL WATER FILTERS.
