Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
AT ECOLIFE CONSERVATION, OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT WILDLIFE, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE PEOPLE THAT DEPEND ON THEM. WE BUILD FUEL-EFFICIENT STOVES AND AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS TO SAVE ECOSYSTEMS AND SAVE LIVES.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
FUEL EFFICIENT STOVE PROGRAM: OUR INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS FOCUS ON BUILDING LIFE-SAVING STOVES IN RURAL HOUSEHOLDS SO FAMILIES CAN BREATHE CLEAN AIR AND CONSUME LESS WOOD. FOR COMMUNITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, THE KITCHEN IS THE PLACE WHERE FAMILIES GATHER TO COOK DINNER, SHARE MEALS, AND PASS DOWN STORIES. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, NEARLY THREE BILLION PEOPLE COOK ON OPEN-FIRES IN THEIR HOMES. INDOOR AIR-POLLUTION, AS A RESULT OF THESE FIRES, LEADS TO PULMONARY DISEASE, EYE INJURIES, BURNS, AND FOUR MILLION PREMATURE DEATHS PER YEAR. IN ADDITION, THREE BILLION PEOPLE HARVESTING FUELWOOD EVERYDAY IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF DEFORESTATION. TO HELP, ECOLIFE PROVIDES SAFE STOVES FOR FAMILIES. WITH CLEANER AIR AND REDUCED FUEL DEPENDENCE, CHILDREN GROW UP HEALTHIER AND SPEND LESS TIME COLLECTING FUELWOOD, GIVING THEM MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION AND SETTING THEM UP FOR SUCCESS AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAM: THE VISION OF OUR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAM (SAP) IS TO REVOLUTIONIZE FOOD SYSTEMS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, PRODUCE MORE FOOD AND IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE. SPECIFICALLY, WE DESIGN AND BUILD AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD TO COMMUNITIES IN NEED. ECOLIFE'S AQUAPONICS SYSTEMS DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE ARE HEALTHIER, MORE SUSTAINABLE WAYS TO FEED THE PLANET THAN TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE. ECOLIFE'S SAP BRINGS AQUAPONICS TO COMMUNITIES IN NEED USING A THREE-TIERED APPROACH: 1) EDUCATION AND INSPIRATION VIA THE ECO-CYCLE, 2) LEARNING, PRODUCTION AND WORKSHOPS VIA THE AQUAPONICS INNOVATION CENTER (AIC), AND V 3) EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES TO GROW ON THEIR OWN, VIA COMMUNITY SYSTEMS.
