For two billion people, cooking is a daily hazard. Women prepare meals using biomass fuels over open fires, exposing themselves and their families to dangerous levels of toxic smoke. The daily search for fuel degrades the local environment and allows little time for outside work, education, or rest, leaving women and girls trapped in a cycle of economic hardship and poor health.

We want women in the developing world to live better, healthier lives because they have access to cleaner-burning cookstoves.

We improve lives and protect the environment through the research, design, and development of outstanding cookstoves.
