Give displaced families in Syria a cleaner, safer way to cook. Your donation to ReliefAid can provide a family with a Fire for Life stove from Escea, a Dunedin, New Zealand-based company.
People in displacement camps rely heavily on open fires to cook meals, but open fires are dangerous, can’t be moved, and create air pollutants that make people ill. Open fires also need a lot of fuel to burn, so families buying firewood are literally seeing their meagre resources going up in smoke.
Thanks to the Kiwi ingenuity and generosity of Escea, displaced families in Syria will get a Fire for Life stove – a practical solution that works in the harshest of environments. The stoves, supplied and manufactured by Escea in New Zealand, are shipped to Syria where ReliefAid’s in-country teams assemble them and use its distribution networks on the ground to distribute them to families in need.
Your donation not only ensures the stoves get to where they are needed most, the more funds we raise, the more families will get their own stoves.
Donate to Fire for Life today and help bring peace of mind to families through the simple act of safe cooking.

Thank you for supporting families in Syria with safe cooking! 27 November 2024
Thanks to your incredible support and our partner Escea, the ReliefAid team in Syria continue to deliver safe cooking stoves to families in need!
Earlier this year, we completed distributions and we’re now preparing for the next shipment of stoves which are arriving in Syria shortly. Huge thanks to our partner Oceanbridge for helping ship the stoves all the way from Dunedin to the displacement camps in Syria.
In 2024, an unprecedented 16 million people in Syria require life-saving humanitarian aid, this number is expected to rise in 2025. Out of that 16 million, each number represents a person and a life that deserves to live in peace, dignity and safety. Among them are families who have lived in tents for over a decade, with children who have never known the warmth of a home or a proper kitchen.
Thanks to your humanity and our amazing partners, families are receiving a safer, more effective way to cook using Fire for Life stoves.
Together, we’re making a real difference. Stay tuned for more updates!
