“Every child that has a facial deformity is our responsibility. If we don’t take care of that child, there’s no guarantee that anyone else will.”
- Kathy Magee, Operation Smile Co-Founder and President
Give a family a clean cook stove and you don’t just give them a way to make meals in a healthy environment -- you boost their overall health.
Operation Smile will send a team of undergraduate student volunteers to Chiapas, Mexico, where they’ll spend a week replacing stoves with clean cook stoves that are energy efficient, respectful of cultural tastes and sourced entirely in-country.
Your donation will go toward covering the cost of the clean cookstoves purchased through our partner, Mexico City-based InfraRural. Each stove costs $240!
Contributing toward a clean cook stove isn’t just a one-time donation but a long-term investment in the health of a family living in Chiapas so they can breathe easier, grow stronger and feel better every day.
