Three years ago, Shell Guatemala began working with NGO HELPS International after it heard the Foundation was backing its efforts to reduce the health impacts of smoke inhaled by people cooking on open fires and stoves – a health and energy issue that causes the premature deaths of 1.5million people globally a year, according to the World Health Organisation.   HELPS designs and sells stoves for around 87USD that reduce emissions by up to 95% and use up to 70% less fire wood. In many cases, the savings people make from the reduced fuel usage allows them to cover the cost of the stove. It also reduces deforestation.   Shell Guatemala has carried leaflets advertising the stoves in its retail outlets and used a fuel promotion to hand out leaflets on forecourts. An ONIL stove, HELPS best seller, also sits in the foyer of the Shell Guatemala offices.   Juan has now received backing from the Group to put HELPS forward as one of the NGOs Shell could back across the region, including in El Salvador, Panama and Guatemala.   I hope it is going to be one of the legs on the table of social investment activities we support regionally,” he says. His backing is timely, with HELPS just beginning to expand beyond Guatemala.   Foundation Director Kurt Hoffman, says: Im delighted. Using Shells people, infrastructure and brand – not just its money - to help us achieve our charitable objectives sits at the heart of the Foundations approach. If, as a result, we then help the company do its social investing better then its a clear win-win, with poor people being the ultimate winners.”   HELPS is one of nine organisations in seven countries backed by the Foundations Breathing Space programme, which has so far helped to sell 250,000 improved stoves as part of its aim to achieve a significant reduction in the global incidence of Indoor Air Pollution.Three years ago, Shell Guatemala began working with NGO HELPS International after it heard the Foundation was backing its efforts to reduce the health impacts of smoke inhaled by people cooking on open fires and stoves – a health and energy issue that causes the premature deaths of 1.5million people globally a year, according to the World Health Organisation.   HELPS designs and sells stoves for around 87USD that reduce emissions by up to 95% and use up to 70% less fire wood.
