Mission

Our mission is to make people reduce the amount of wood they use and to reduce the pollution of the air. This is possible by a stove that was designed with rocket stove technology, which is using less wood, cooking in excellent condition and producing less pollution. Also contributes in poor families to reduce respiratory system illnesses.

Reduction in the consumption of wood
Reduction in air pollution
Makes families spend less money


Market development for improved cooking technologies:

Because we are doing it for the protection of the river of Copan, and we need to see the results to promote it in other places.


Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

It is a system of high efficiency in combustion that reduces the 99% of smoke that a normal stove causes. This is done by its design that does an excellent job using oxygen and fuel.


Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

It is a practice in a certain area where hospitals attend to health problems and where we can do illness prevention by action. The stove we promote is efficient for people to present less sickness.
