The HELPS Stove

Programs

Aldea Assistance program

As an assistance to the remote villages, HELPS works with the aldea leaders to tailor a program to the need of the village. Most villages qualify for a subsidized stove program that places the stoves within their reach without being a welfare program.

 NGO assistance program

HELPS provides its stove design to other NGOs interested in implementing the design into their programs.  This is accomplished by first training their people in the stove construction and authorizing them to use the molds and vendors qualified by HELPS.

 Finca owners program

Many finca owner want to improve the welfare of their workers and wish to supply them with better cooking conditions.  The owners enjoy the added benefit of substantial reduction in wood use by their workers.

Fincas that wish to work with  HELPS supply all the material  and labor for stove production and HELPS provides the training and technology.
