El Salvador- Rotary Club of Cuidad Merliot Ovens Project

Our Partner Club in El Salvador has sent us some photos of their improved ovens project. They have built 142 of these are are this weekend training the parents of the Family we have supported in the building of these ovens.

Each oven is designed to fully utilize spcial stones that help keep the heat hence using less wood and protecting the environment. The Chamber under the iron is filled with these stones and only part is used for firewood. Each stove is built so as not to burn any one near them and has piping to take any smoke to the out of doors. This keeps this stove similar to the traditional one and more culturally acceptable and low cost.
