Over the course of the summer, our repair team will visit more than 450 stoves built between 2019 - 2021 to replace worn components, clean out combustion chambers, and ensure all of our Patsaris are doing the life-and-forest-saving work they were built for.

Meanwhile, the rest of our construction crew will continue building new stoves and expanding our protective halo around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Returning to communities we've already built in does not mean we're pausing progress, but ensures the progress we’ve already made lasts.

This project is only possible because of the dedicated supporters who funded these stoves in the first place. If you've supported ECOLIFE in the past, we hope you will return with that same generosity to keep the fires you helped build burning.

Returning to the Hearth

This summer we are returning to communities to service stoves built between 2019 - 2021
