“With our stove we are saving around $ 140.00 a year. That is a huge help to our economy, the look of our kitchen has improved a lot and also we don’t have the risk of our children falling into the fire.” Feliciano

Aller Skill Center

In 2010, Hands For Peacemaking opened the Aller Skill Center on property they purchased adjacent to the Mission House.  The 5,000 square foot two story building is designed to teach employable skills while providing employment for over 9 local people.

The Aller stove, school desks, teacher desks, white boards and latrines are the products presently produced at the Aller Skill Center.  The facility has become the centerpiece for the organization’s effort to teach villagers and locals, employable skills.
