'Mamosito is a 28-year-old woman who is married to a 31- year-old man. She has one child aged 11. She lives in a multi-roomed house without electricity. 'Mamosito is a stay-home mother who takes care of the family, and she depends on her husband's salary who works temporary jobs. Her typical day is spent mostly on collecting wood, cooking and cleaning the house.
When 'Mamosito heard about the ACE1 stove, she decided to get one as she struggles mostly with heating and mobile phone charging. What she did not know was that the stove also uses 50-70% less wood than cooking over an open fire. This impressed her a lot since she goes to collect wood almost daily. With this stove she will charge her phone, heat her home and cook faster with less wood, thus saving her time.
'Mamosito and the other people in the group have kindly requested a loan from Kiva lenders to pay for a stove.
