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.

Fire4Life: changing lives one stove at a time!  1 November 2023

We are thrilled to announce that our partner and innovative designers behind the Fire4Life stove, Escea, have taken home not one, not two but three awards from this year's Best in Design Awards. They truly brought the heat!

This achievement affirms how brilliant and helpful these cooking stoves are for families in need. The stoves work efficiently, designed specifically to tackle the problem of open fire cooking in developing countries. They are light-weight, are simple to light, require less fuel and burns cleaner.

With your help, we are reaching more and more displaced families in Syria. Every family deserves to cook safely. Thank you for helping make that happen!

Thank you Lynn for supporting our Fire for Life project. The stoves give families displaced from their homes a safe and efficient means to cook and are especially valuable as winter looms. Your help is much appreciated.
