What We Do
Support our Spring Fundraising Campaign!

Cookstoves Matter:

Half the world’s population uses traditional biomass fuels, rudimentary stoves, or an open fire. The resulting air pollution is the leading global environmental health risk.

Cookstoves Matter:

Women and children are disproportionately affected by a lack of access to clean cooking.

Our Solution:

To alleviate these issues, traditional methods can be replaced with cookstoves that are cleaner burning, culturally appropriate, durable, and can be manufactured at scale.

Our method:

Burn Design Lab designs high performing clean cookstoves and works with local manufacturers who produce them at scale.

One of the things that set BURN (both Burn Design Lab and Burn Manufacturing) apart was the quality of the design and the product. There was an emphasis on customer-centric design and quality that was validated by independent third parties. The level of rigor stood out.
