IMPACTING HOMES In 2025, our dedicated volunteer teams installed 935 smoke-free stoves and water filters in the homes of families who rely on open fires for cooking. These innovative stoves effectively eliminate smoke within the home, significantly reducing wood consumption by 60%. Moreover, they mitigate the risk of burns among children, ensuring their safety. Additionally, women gain back valuable hours each week, as they spend less time gathering wood. The water filters provide access to clean and safe drinking water, thereby preventing waterborne illnesses and promoting overall well-being.

IMPACTING EDUCATION In 2025, our EC-12 school program, which spans early childhood education through high school, educated 308 students. The program provided each student with essential resources such as school supplies, textbooks, extracurricular activities, and technology. To address learning deficiencies, we offered tutoring classes through the BookTuk Mobile Education program, which includes books and teachers. Additionally, we have an Adult Trade Training Program that provides vocational training for men and women, aiming to promote financial independence and empower individuals to build a brighter future.
