Welcome to our 2025 Impact Report. At Burn Design Lab, we believe that thoughtful design and engineering can transform lives. Working alongside local manufacturers and communities, we develop cleaner cooking solutions that improve health, strengthen livelihoods, and reduce environmental impact where they are needed most.

This report highlights the progress we made together in 2025. Driven by the commitment of our partners, donors, and supporters, we advanced innovative cookstove technologies, expanded testing and field validation, and increased access to cleaner cooking across homes, schools, and institutions. Every milestone reflects the power of collaboration and our shared commitment to creating lasting, locally driven impact.
