Executive Summary

In 2010, the exam results from the children’s national school exams have seen a

significant improvement in San Andrés Itzapa throughout the year, culminating (see

appendix 1) with all the children, bar six, passing their grades in Primary school, the

majority with scores in the 80’s and 90’s. The advances seen in maths and sciences again

were especially noticeable. All bar one child in 6th grade Primary school passed their

exams, and will start Secondary school in 2011.

The attendance of the children in San Andrés Itzapa has risen to an average of over 90%

over the year, despite many days being taken off to work in the fields, look after newly-

born siblings and sick parents (see appendix 1).

On 29th December, we handed out the first part of the scholarships in San Andrés Itzapa,

where the mothers of all our children receive money to be able to send their children to

school, including inscription and maintenance fees, utensils and other costs associated

with education. 169 families benefitted with 279 children in Primary School, 63 in

Secondary School and 15 in College.

Similar results were witnessed in Santa María de Jesús with many children scoring in the

high 80’s and 90’s with just a handful not passing the grade and having to repeat.

Sciences and maths again saw an upturn. Due to our work starting Santa María later than

Itzapa, we have yet to have the children pass through to Secondary school, which will start

in the next two years (see appendix 2).

Attendance in Santa María has been excellent throughout the year, with the majority of

children attending over 90% of the time (see appendix 2).

Tropical Storm Agatha passed through Guatemala on May 29th destroying many homes

and all the crops in our communities. Through very generous fundraising, we managed to

supply the families with emergency food, seeds, raincoats and materials to rebuild homes.

iii

During the year we constructed 47 energy efficient stoves for the families in the

communities and the general consensus is that the families now use up to 75% less

firewood now with the new stoves. Over 600 stoves have now been built in our

communities.

The Plan Ancianos Schemes in Itzapa and Santa María de Jesús has seen over 250

elderly relatives of the children regularly receive their food, in exchange for good

attendance in school by the children, which in turn is helping the shortage of food in the

family.

The work with the Women’s Group in Itzapa has continued, with the planting of 14,000

trees in June and almost 20,000 seedlings are now being prepared for 2011. Their organic

vegetable work has continued with good crops of cauliflower, radish, broccoli and chilli.

The women’s literacy classes are going strong with the materials we have provided with

more now able to write their own names, as was seen when we handed out the

scholarships in December 2010.

The “Group of Ten” men still meet regularly in Santa María to discuss community and

agricultural issues.

There have been many successes during this period:

Over 34,000 teaching hours have been completed by the volunteers to almost 600

children in both San Andrés Itzapa and Santa María de Jesús, from kindergarten

through to 3rd Level Secondary School and college.

Over 147,500 fruits have been distributed

Almost 74,000 breakfasts distributed

47 energy-efficient stoves have been built

14,000 trees have been planted in the surrounding area of San Andrés Itzapa

250 elderly people benefiting from Plan Ancianos

26 local Guatemalans receive regular income

98% of our children passed the year in both Primary and Secondary levels.

1.1 Introduction

The Global Vision International (GVI) Phoenix Project was initiated in Guatemala in 2002

in San Andrés Itzapa, a Kakchiquel-speaking indigenous community. Soon after, in 2004,

another project was opened in Santa María de Jesús, aswell, Kakchiquel-speaking. In the

same year, Phoenix started operations in Honduras, firstly on fresh water tubing projects

then later on, working in Estanzuela and then San Rafael at the beginning of 2006. Work

commenced in Barbasco in 2010. Many of the older population speak Chortí. The Phoenix

Secondary school was founded in 2008 in San Rafael. In 2005, operations started in

Ecuador, in the Kichwa-speaking communities of Urcusiqui, Muenala and Huayrapungo,

with a new community, Larcacunga, starting in 2007. In 2006 work began in Perú, primarily

in Socabaya though then moving to two Quechua-speaking (the “people’s speech”)

communities in Sachaca outside the base town of Arequipa; Maldonado and Triunfo. Work

commenced in a third community, Chiguata, in 2010. Our work around Estelí, Nicaragua

started in La Thompson in January 2009 and Chiriza in 2010. Work in Mata Escura,

Salvador, Brazil, started in June 2010.

In Guatemala, children and adolescents compose more than half of Guatemala’s

population. 50 per cent of the under-18 population (around 3.7 million girls, boys and

adolescents) live in poverty. The situation is dramatically worse among children in rural

areas and indigenous children and adolescents where 76 per cent and 80 per cent,

respectively, live in poverty (UNICEF).

It is GVI Phoenix’s belief that one of the most effective ways of improving standards of

living is through education, though this is not always forthcoming to indigenous

communities, especially in the communities in which we work.

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) concur, stating in a recent

report, that the reasons for extreme poverty in Guatemala are down to a long history of

discrimination and inequality towards the Indigenous populations, lack of access to social

and productive assets, employment opportunities and over-exploitation of land and water

resources resulting in lower productivity of basic food crops which leads to food insecurity

and soaring prices.


School retention in Guatemala is low, with only 60 per cent of students who start the first

grade of primary school completing the sixth grade and only 39 per cent completing it at

the right age (UNICEF).

Child malnutrition is often blamed for poor educational results. Guatemala has one of the

worst nutritional conditions in the region. One in two children in Guatemala under five is

chronically malnourished. At 49.3% Guatemala’s rate of child stunting (an indicator of

chronic malnutrition measured in terms of low height for age), is the highest in Latin

America, worst than that of most sub-Saharan African countries, and the 5th worst in the

world, on a par with Niger and in front of Yemen, East Timor, Nepal and Burundi (UNDP).

Chronic malnutrition affects the indigenous population twice as much as the non-

indigenous, with 70% of the indigenous suffering, as opposed to 36% of non-indigenous

(ENSMI).

During 2010, the white maize crop, which is staple food in Guatemala for making tortillas,

failed around the areas of our projects. This was put down to severe climate change,

especially the unusual torrential rain in May and June and a fungus. The follow-on “frijol”

crop was equally affected by heavy rains and rotted, leaving very little food for the families

for 2011.

Rates for Primary School completion in Guatemala are 70%, with around a third of all 12

year olds not finishing primary school (UNESCO Database). Our children are markedly

lower than the national average. Girls are 8.4% less likely to finish primary school

(SEGEPLAN). On average, 12.5% of children will fail a grade and have to re-take the year

(UNESCO Database).

On average, only 35% of children passing Primary school move on to Secondary School

(UNESCO Database) with the Net Attendance Rate (entering at the normal age) at just

27.9% in 2005.

High repetition rates and late school entry mean that the net completion rate (% of children

completing sixth grade at the appropriate age) is just 39% (ICEFI).


As well as malnutrition, scarce financial resources for household expenses and the

resulting child labour are some of the main reasons why girls and boys do not move

forward in their educational path and cannot break the cycle of poverty in the future.

Recent numbers show that 23 per cent of children and young people between the ages of

7 and 16 were part of the country's labour force (Prensa Libre).

Children enter pre-school at aged 5 at a national level (the same age Phoenix starts with

their children), entering Grade 1 at the age of 7 and finishing Grade 6 at the age of 12.

Once Primary Education is finished, children enter Básico (secondary education) for 3

years before entering Carrera (college) for a further 3 years, which is more career-based.

From here there is further opportunity to go onto University.

1.2 Why financial support is important in education

The following reveals the short-comings of family income and reasons behind lack of

education, mal-nourishment and lack of access to medicines (GVI Phoenix). For this

reason, GVI Phoenix pays for the necessary items and quotas for the children to attend

National school.

Fig. 1 – Giving out scholarships in San Andrés Itzapa


1.2.1 Family Income

Based on Family A

Mother and father, 3 children, 1 boy and 2 girls

Family A in GVI Phoenix Project in San Andrés Itzapa, Santa María de Jésus and Peña

Blanca (a community project at Lake Atitlán that GVI Phoenix supports) earn on average

from $18 to $25 per week. This is an average over the year, as there is one lump sum

earned from each harvest, which may be twice a year. It is not a weekly income. Families

do not receive a weekly income. Other work might be found though without an education

and a burgeoning younger population looking for work, it is hard to come by.

NB: this is seasonal, dependent on crops cycles etc and includes the extra hands from

children meeting quotas. It should be noted that if there is no harvest, there is no income

for 4-6 months despite time spent working in the fields (harvests in 2009 and 2010 failed).

1.2.2 The Canasta Básica

As of December 31st 2010, the monthly Canasta Básica Vital (CBV), or the basic foodstuffs

and other necessary essentials (including transport and education) needed by Family A, is

Q3,922 ($502) per month or Q980 ($125) per week for a family of five (Ministerio de

Trabajo y el Instituto Nacional de Estadistica - INE). The monthly Canasta Básisa

Alimentaria (CBA), which just includes the minimum essential nutritional food requirements

for a family of five is Q2,149 ($275) per month and Q537 ($68) per week. This is also

negatively affected by annual inflation, which in Guatemala is between 10-15% as is

seasonal depending on harvests. Both CBV and CBA are far from attainable for our

average families we work with, and below demonstrates that even the lower CBA is also

far from attainable.

1.2.3 Put into numbers

For argument’s sake, we will optimistically use the high end of the average income:

Family Income per week: $25

Canasta Básica Vital (CBV): $125

Canasta Básica Alimentaria (CBA): $68

What is left from CBA: -$43


So, looking at this, the family is already far below the CBV and well below the essential

nutritional CBA.

1.2.4 Additional costs

From the -$43 bottom line, one must also take off the following:

Drinking, on average, alcohol abuse can use from a third to a half of the family

income:

Primary education for the 6 children, including uniforms, text books, inscription fees

(secondary is much more)

Illness, medicines

Unforeseen events, accidents at work, days off (unpaid)

Transport – needs to visit a town

Clothing

Elderly relatives, unable to work

Family events, like births, weddings, deaths

Loan repayments

One must take into account that this extra money has to come from the family income,

which would have gone into the Canasta Básica Alimentaria.

Put into figures, calculated on a weekly basis, based over one year:

Family Income: $25

Drinking: -$8 (based on a third of income)

Primary education: -$9 (based on Primary school: $60 per child)

Medicines: -$1 (based on $50 a year)

Unforeseen events: -$0.5 (based on $25 a year)

Transport: -$1 (based on $50 a year)

Clothing: -$2 (based on $100 a year)

Elderly relatives: from Canasta Básica

Family events: $1 (based on $50 a year)

Loan repayments: $2.5 (based on $120 a year)

Balance: -$0.5


That is to say there is no money for a family of 5, plus elderly relatives, to eat and live, or

even get close to the average Canasta Básica Alimentaria. Note, that in the above table,

nothing has been taken into account for food.

From this list, one can say there are also electricity bills, if the family has electricity.

1.2.5 Conclusion

Using these figures, one can deduce the reasons why children are mal-nourished,

uneducated, unclothed, receive little medical care etc, because the family income just is

not enough for all the eventualities of life.

2.0 San Andrés Itzapa and Santa María de Jesús community teaching

We currently work in two indigenous communities, San Andrés Itzapa and Santa María de

Jesús, whose first language is Kakchiquel and the families predominantly work in the

fields. Adult iliteracy is very high, especially amongst the women. We also support a third

community, Peña Blanca, at Lake Atitlán.

San Andres Itzapa

In October 2002, with the help of the indigenous leader, Elena Siquinajay Suy, GVI set up

the Pajaro de Fuego (Phoenix) project. In a family’s house, we taught classes to 25

children. After a couple of months as the numbers of children grew, we moved to a piece

of disused land where we renovated two buildings, with the help of volunteer donations,

into suitable teaching areas for over 60 children. Over the years, with increased child

numbers, we built more classrooms, moved onto a new piece of land and expanded into

another house to give lessons. Now in 2010, we have over 350 children in primary,

secondary and carrera (college) ranging from ages of 5 to 22.


Fig. 2 – classrooms in San Andrés Itzapa

Santa Maria de Jesús

In July 2004 we set up our next project in Santa Maria Jesus, an indigenous community on

the foothills of Volcan Agua, with the help of Santiago Colin. Utilizing house space

belonging to Santiago’s sister, we provided first time education to many children whose

ages range between 5-13. Since then, due to space issues, we moved to two other houses

and built classrooms. In 2010 we have 205 children in primary school ranging from ages 5

to 15 regularly attending.

Fig. 3 – classrooms in Santa María de Jesús


2.1 Objectives

GVI’s objectives for working in San Andrés Itzapa and Santa María de Jesús are to

provide first-time and sustainable education for indigenous children who would otherwise

not have access to education due to economic constraints. Many families also do not

understand the need for education, so getting the children into school is one of the

challenges.

Our work can be divided into the following parts:

2.1.1 Literacy and numeracy

To provide first-time teaching in basic literacy and numeracy and continued teaching in the

latter and also both natural and social science, arts and crafts. English is taught for the

older children now in Secondary Education.

Fig. 4 – children learning

2.1.2 Food and fruit

To provide daily fruit and breakfast for the children, so their vitamin intake is higher and

they have something in their stomachs to be able to concentrate. Also starting the garden

schemes provides education and a sustainable food supply. According to the INE, fresh

fruit increased 8.56% in price in one month, depending on heavy rains in 2010.


Fig. 5 – children eating breakfast

2.1.3 Sustainable Community Schemes

To offer various community schemes that involve the whole community in the education

process, for example, Plan Ancianos (food for the elderly), Plan Fertilizante (fertilizer

scheme for the poor quality land), the women’s group in San Andrés Itzapa and the men’s

group in Santa María de Jesús, whilst creating a sustainable income for the parents

moving forward and more food for the children to eat, aiming to counteract the problems of

child malnutrition. For the families to be involved in the Plans, their children must attend

school on a daily basis.

Fig. 6 – Cross-generational support


2.1.4 Covering the costs of education

To pay for education costs for Primary and Secondary school education, so the children

can attend National School, as well as our school. It is generally thought amongst the

parents, the children learn what they know with us, so we are effectively paying for the

certificates at the national school. Nationally, only 60% of children finish primary education

and just 30% go on to secondary school, due mainly to financial constraints. By alleviating

the costs of education from the families, the children are more likely to finish the full

education. The first part of the scholarships were handed out in Itzapa in December 2010

and will be handed out in Santa María in 2011.

2.1.5 Celebrations

We feel it is important to celebrate the various occasions in Guatemala, not least the

children’s birthdays, which we do each month. Other celebrations include Day of the Child,

Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day and Christmas, Day of the Dead.

Fig. 7 – Mother’s Day in Santa María de Jesús

2.2 Classroom-based Teaching and Spanish Classes

The volunteers teach their own classes, in Spanish, with help from more experienced

volunteers and/or GVI Phoenix staff. They must lesson plan, using the curriculum and

textbooks provided, along with other materials we have. Any costs incurred to undertake

their classes are reimbursed.

The majority of volunteers choose to take a week of one-on-one Spanish classes at the

beginning of their program, which is then supplemented in the evenings.

Fig. 9 – One-on-one Spanish classes


2.2.1 Training and Methods

Using the Guatemalan curriculum for day to day teaching, volunteers can plan lessons as

per what is being taught in national school, with the vocabulary needed shown in the

books. All lessons are conducted in Spanish. One-on-one teaching workshops are carried

out in the communities if volunteers want help with planning lessons. A presentation is

given on teaching during the first week the volunteer is in the project, which is given in

conjunction with the Teaching Manual that is sent to the volunteer before arrival in the

country. If numbers of volunteers allow, a new volunteer will team teach with an existing

volunteer for the first week, with the aim to takeover that class in the second week. GVI

staff are on hand to help out, give ideas lesson plan and support.

Fig. 10 – volunteers in a teaching workshop

2.2.2 Achievements in San Andrés Itzapa and Santa María de Jesús

We have seen the successes of the projects over the years and these can be quantified by

seeing the results, shown in appendix 1 & 2.

“School retention in Guatemala is low, with only 60 per cent of students who start

the first grade completing the sixth grade and only 39 per cent completing it at the

right age (UNICEF).”

This year, 98% of our children passed the grade, with exceptionally high marks, well above

the national average, which is thought to be around 60%. As seen in the appendix below,


many our children are averaging in the 80’s and 90’s, which puts them in the top bracket in

Guatemala. Many of our children, due to late-starting in school, won’t attain 6th grade at the

recognised age of 12, though this will not be a hindrance.

“On average, only 35% of children passing Primary school move on to Secondary

School (UNESCO Database) with the Net Attendance Rate (entering at the normal

age) at just 27.9% in 2005.”

98% of our children finishing 6th grade this year in San Andrés Itzapa will be passing on to

Secondary school. The children in Santa María have not reached 6th grade yet, though we

forecast that this will be similar there.

“High repetition rates and late school entry mean that the net completion rate (% of

children completing sixth grade at the appropriate age) is just 39% (ICEFI).”

Whilst most of our children now pass the grades, the majority will not complete 6 th grade at

the appropriate age, this is due to them starting their educational cycle later. Without the

help from GVI Phoenix, they would not have started at all.

“Recent numbers show that 23 per cent of children and young people between the

ages of 7 and 16 were part of the country's labour force (Prensa Libre).”

Almost all of our children work as well as study, either in the field, at home or on the

streets selling produce, though the responsibility of the parents now, demonstrating that

they believe that education is a way out, is impressive in allowing the children to come to

school. It means longer days for the children to manage work as well as school.

Fig. 11 – children with excellent results


Attendance in the classroom is also at 89% in Itzapa and over 90% in Santa María. There

is no official statistic showing per year attendance, though with the drop-out percentage so

high, as mentioned, once again, our attendance figures are amongst the highest in the

country.

School dessertion is due to children having to work to sustain the household and also to

look after the household and younger siblings. Continued untreated illness is also a

contributing factor. During the year, we again had a handful of children drop-out, though

this was mainly due to having to look after newly-born siblings and sick parents.

2.2.3 English in Itzapa

English is taught to students between the ages of 12 and 20 as a support for the lessons

they recieve in national secondary school. In national school English is taught by

Guatemalan teachers whose language skills are limited - we provide English classes from

native speakers - something the students deperately need and simply wouldn't get

anywhere else. In 2010 we used a new curriculum across four levels (including one level in

the primary school) based on the national curriculum books which took them through to

their final exams in October. Lessons are taught twice a week and are designed to be

intereactive and use the latest methods of teaching a foreign language, teaching the

students how to read, write, listen to, speak and have fun in English. Around 60 students


took their exams and we had a 97% pass rate with one student getting 99%! (see

Appendix 1).

Fig. 13 – English in Itzapa

2.2.4 BTEC Leadership Training schemes

Twenty members of staff and interns completed the BTEC course in 2010 giving them all a

good grounding in team leadership. Some of the newly qualified have continued working

with GVI in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras and Guatemala and others have taken the

learnings back home to support them at work or to give them a good standing in the

university degrees and social work qualifications. Wherever our BTEC-ers have taken their

skills on to they have all given good feedback on the course and trainer saying that it has

given them a good base in team leadership and they feel confident enough to continue

using their skills.

2.2.5 Review

The marks have continued to be exceptionally high, which can be put down to the hard

work of the volunteers, concentrating on particular areas in the curriculum, for example,

language, maths and the sciences. What we have noted is that those children who don’t

attend regularly, achieve lower marks, as seen in appendix 1. Due to continued crop

failure and a growing lack of food, we have seen a decline in the well-being of the children

and their concentration levels do drop a lot.

2.3 Community Schemes/Plans

GVI Phoenix community schemes are implemented to provide sustainable income for the

families so one day, it is hoped, they will be able to afford to pay for their own children’s

education. It is also a way to get the children to remain in school, as the families would not

be part of the Plans if the child does not attend school. They are also an incentive for the

families to do all they can to allow their children an education.

2.3.1 Plan Ancianos

Plan Ancianos was set up to distribute basic foods for the elderly population on a monthly

basis because there simply wasn’t enough to go around. It is our thinking that if the elderly

receive some food, there is more chance the children will eat as well.

Fig 15 – Plan Ancianos


2.3.2 Plan Fertilizante

Plan Fertilizante, or fertilizer, is where we provide sacks of fertilizer to each family whose

children are in the school, so their fields, which are often in poor areas, can recoup some

damage from over farming and hopefully yield a better crop, which in turn will provide more

for the family. To receive the fertilizer, each family must donate some food-stuffs for the

Plan Ancianos on a regular basis.

2.3.3 Women’s group in Itzapa and reforestation

In San Andres Itzapa, we rent land for the women’s group there, who tend to the tree

nursery all year and we buy the trees back off them for reforestation. The extra land

available allows the women to grow vegetables for family consumption or for sale. Again,

to be able to enjoy this benefit, children must be in school. This year, over 14,000 trees

were planted in the surrounding areas.

Fig. 17 – Plan Reforestación Fig. 18 – Tree nursery


We also fund some materials for 20 women to receive literacy classes. The fruits of this

are visible as we saw more women sign their names on receipt of the money for the

scholarships.

2.3.4 Group of Ten in Santa María

In Santa María, a group of ten fathers meet on a monthly basis to discuss community and

agricultural matters. A couple of years ago, we loaned them a small amount of money to

work on schemes for the community, and this is working well, with agriculture being the

main beneficiary. They also organize our annual Father’s Day football match,

Fig. 19 - Fathers Day Football

2.3.5 Review

The Plan Ancianos is showing tremendous success, with many of the elderly population

showing signs of better health and a marked level of attendance of the children. The

results of Plan Fertilizer have been less positive as unseasonal high winds and heavy rain

destroyed most of the crops from 2010. The reforestation plan was a resounding success,

though the heavy rains did wash away some of the tress.

3.0 Stove Projects

Building an energy-efficient stove takes two days to build and is a longterm, sustainable

method of reducing both health problems and deforestation.

3.1 Introduction

The GVI Phoenix stove project was set up in 2005 to build energy-efficient stoves in

houses where families cook on an open fire in the household. To receive a stove, the

children must be attending school with us.

Fig. 21 – Finished stove

3.2 A few facts about air pollution

- More than one-third of humanity, 2.4 billion people worldwide use solid fuels, including

wood, dung and coal for their energy needs.

- Solid fuels have been used for cooking since the beginning of time and when used

properly, they can be an effective way of heating a home or cooking a meal.

Unfortunately, due to economic, political and cultural factors, most families today use what

is referred to as a three stone fire, which is three round stones surrounding a wood fire,

over which a metal plate is placed for cooking. Coupled with poor ventilation in most

homes, this is leading to high levels of indoor air pollution.

- Smoke in homes from these cook stoves is the fourth greatest risk factor for death and

disease in the world’s poorest countries


- Worldwide, 1.6 million annual deaths, predominantly women and children, are caused by

indoor air pollution, including one million children’s lives each year (more than malaria or

AIDS)

- Children under the age of 5 account for 56% of deaths from Indoor Air Pollution.

- The main killer caused by indoor air pollution is called acute lower respiratory infections

(ALRI). Pneumonia, serious burns and eye infections are other health risks. Many women

go blind in their forties due to smoke from the cooking fires.

- Women typically spend between three and seven hours per day by the fire, longer when

fires are also used for heating the home. Children under the age of five are also

particularly at risk because they spend most of their time with their mothers; often very

young ones are strapped to their mother’s body. The impact this length of exposure has on

small children is exacerbated by a number of factors. Children’s airways are smaller,

therefore more susceptible to inflammation. Their lungs are not fully developed until they

are teenagers, so they breathe faster. Also, their immune systems are not fully developed

– a process that may be further delayed by malnutrition. These facts mean that children

absorb pollutants more readily than adults and also retain them in their system for longer.

- Another major problem from these cook stoves is: depleting resources and the time

necessary to collect the firewood

- Up to 85% of the energy generated by a three-stone open fire is wasted, which is a real

problem considering that poor families spend up to 20% of their income on solid fuels

and/or spend one quarter of their time gathering wood

- In most societies it is also the women’s responsibility to provide the biomass fuel. The

time cost alone, in rural areas, can be extreme. Estimates range from two to twenty hours

per week spent collecting fuel, and the distances covered over difficult terrain can be

considerable. In Nepal, for example, women can walk over 20 km per journey in search of

wood. This level of work not only reduces the amount of time women can spend on other

activities, such as earning money or resting, but it contributes to a range of additional

threats to health and wellbeing.

- Often, if the mother cannot collect the wood, it is the responsibility of one of the

daughters in the family, thus taking away from time that could be spent in the school


3.3 Comparison of Indoor Air Pollution to Malaria

Twenty per cent of the world’s population are at risk from malaria; almost 50% are at risk

from indoor air pollution.

- Malaria kills about one million people per year; indoor air pollution kills over 1.6 million.

- Recently the UN General Assembly restated their aim to control malaria. While Indoor

Air Pollution is starting to gain recognition there is not yet a worldwide campaign for

healthy indoor air.

3.4 Facts on the Stoves

- They are simple wood burning stoves made from cement, block and bricks that encase

the fire and provide a chimney to vent smoke out of the home.

- They cut down the amount of smoke and carbon dioxide in the home by 70%.

- They use 75% less firewood than three-stone fires thus saving resources and time used

collecting firewood.

- They add 10-15 years of life to every person in the household.

- They protect small children from major burns and women from loosing their eyesight

prematurely

- In September 2000 the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the

Millennium Declaration that set in place the Millennium Development Goals of reducing

poverty by 2015

- The stoves greatly contribute to the goal of reducing child mortality by two-thirds by 2015

3.5 Short-term economic benefits of installing a stove

Stoves themselves are not an “income enhancer” – a family does not earn more

income by having a stove.

Does not affect the main income earner, the father, who still works in the field

Less time spent by mother and children collecting firewood, allowing more time for

education and potential weaving by the mothers to sell.

Money can be saved (spent on food, clothes, medicine) by not having to spend on

medical bills for lung disease caused by smoke inhalation, though this is small as

this money often isn’t spent anyway, so cannot be put into the argument.

Any money saved should be put towards educating and feeding the child

3.6 Long-term economic benefits of installing a stove

The most obvious one is the children and education

A child spending less time searching for firewood has more time for study

A child’s potential earning capacity is greatly enhanced, thus more education,

especially secondary and college.

Here is where the payback can happen: an educated child in better employment

knows the long-term benefits of education for their own children, so MUST commit

to sending their children to school as well.

3.7 Long-term responsibilities

The family with a stove must do all they can to make sure their child is educated, fed and

looked after. A healthy child is more likely to pass exams than a sickly one. The child must

also be given time for homework, study etc etc. All the families we have spoken too once

they have used the stove for some months have said that their wood consumption has

dropped between 50-80%. The educated and better-employed child must do all they can

to make sure their own children have a better education.

3.8 Conclusion

Stoves do not create wealth immediately, the money earner in the family still works in the

fields, whether he/she has a stove or not.

Stoves do allow increased time resources for the children for study and for mothers to

weave to sell products, although to put this into perspective, a “guipile” can take up to 6


weeks to make and will be sold for $20, so therefore extra income, though take into

account raw materials to make the “guipile”

4.0 Financial Support

The substantial fixed costs and variable costs to run GVI Phoenix in Guatemala is covered

mainly (up to 75%) by volunteer fees and the rest by the GVI Charitable Trust. This is of

course dependent on volunteer numbers.

4.1 Charity Challenges 2010

Between 21st November and 3rd December, two consecutive groups completed the

Volcano Charity Challenges, with guides from Old Town Outfitters, climbing five volcanoes

each: Pacaya, Santa María, Tajumulco, San Pedro and Acatenango to raise money for the

projects via the GVI Charitable Trust. In all, over $20,000 were raised which were invested

in increased food and fruit programs (with the increase in number of children),

refurbishments, increased community schemes, a new school in Santa María and a

$5,000 emergency fund. A Biking Challenge is set for March 2011 and the Volcano

Challenge will again be run in November.

Fig. 23 – Volcano Charity Challenge

4.2 GVI Charitable Trust

We rely on the GVI Charitable Trust to make up the difference between the money we

receive from GVI volunteers for fixed costs, and what we need overall. These two sources

of income are our only sources. Volunteers raise money before and after they join us,

running marathons, weddings etc and also through Standing Orders. The GVI Charitable


Trust is registered in the UK, Charity Registration number: 1111494. 90% of all money

raised through the Trust comes to us in the field, as GVI covers all administration costs.

It is forecast that we will need $55,000 in 2011 to cover these extra costs through the

GVICT.

4.3 Tropical Storm Agatha

Tropical Storm Agatha traveled through Guatemala on May 29th in winds of 45mph

dropping three feet of rain in less 24 hours. It took thousands of roofs with it, dumping

water in the houses as it flew through terrorising towns across Guatemala. It also sadly

took over 150 lives and 94,000 were evacuated from homes.

Fig. 24 – Emergency food

It left Santa Maria and Itzapa devastated withh mudslides taking out houses and crops. By

the end of the storm it had destroyed homes and all that year’s crops.

Fig 25 – kids with raincoats


As the communities started to suffer we knew we had to support them. For those families

involved in our programmes we provided emergency food parcels and followed up with

materials to help rebuild houses that were destroyed in the storm. After a few months we

gave them beans to grow to feed their families for the following year. As the rain continued

to come and the children became sicker and sicker we provided rain jackets for them to

wear to and from school so they would recover and not miss out on their education.

Fig 26 - seeds

All this was provided for by kind donations from ex-volunteers, friends and family. In total

we raised $42,000 and successfully rebuild 382 families’ livelihoods and communities. The

food scheme will continue in 2011 to prevent famine after the failures of the crops in 2010.
