Cooking Shouldn't Kill.

Each year open cooking fires kill eight times as many people as malaria.

The most dangerous activity a woman in the developing world can undertake is cooking for her family. Smoke exposure from open cooking fires causes four million deaths-primarily women and children-each year.

Bringing Clean Cookstoves to the World.

StoveTeam International promotes safe, affordable, fuel-efficient cookstoves to replace dangerous open cooking fires in the developing world.

We work with motivated, talented entrepreneurs in Latin America to establish locally owned and operated factories that sell and distribute the Ecocina clean cookstove. By giving local entrepreneurs the tools, business training and education they need to succeed, they become leaders in the production and marketing of fuel-efficient stoves in their community. Through sustainable factories we provide jobs, addressing poverty and unemployment.
