BWEL donates stoves to fire victims

This weekend nine families left homeless by a fire in New Maya Mopan village will move into their new homes. The fire on January twenty-seventh started in the fire hearth of one of the thatched houses and quickly spread to the nearby homes. Since the disaster, the Government, the United Democratic Party, the Belize Red Cross and several business establishments have come forward to assist the fire victims. Today, Belize Western Energy Limited donated towards the cause: nine tabletop stoves including gas tanks, regulators and hoses. The gift was given to Minister Agripino Cawich, the area representative of Cayo South.

These stoves are going to make their homes more safe.”
