Argentine community stove construction initiatives

Overview

In Bariloche, a volunteer organization of approximately 30 people is constructing safe and efficient stoves for residents lacking adequate heating. Led by Albano Nano Geliberti, the initiative targets vulnerable populations, such as single mothers with children, to mitigate fire risks and respiratory issues caused by toxic gases.

The group manufactures two specific designs: the ‘Estufa Isleña’, which utilizes recycled 200-liter oil drums and a brick combustion chamber for heating and cooking, and the ‘Chuncana’ design from Córdoba. These stoves are intended to reduce firewood consumption by half. The initiative also includes a sub-project called ‘Chau Chiflete’ aimed at improving home insulation by sealing wall gaps.
