Stoves help cooks and the planet!
Together we can create a more sustainable future.
For every Dos Por Tres stove we prevent 3 tonnes of CO2 emissions and save the equivalent of 5-8 trees each year.
Improved Dos por Tres stoves
Help to create a cleaner, healthier environment!

Save time and money.
Wood consumption is just half of that of a traditional stove. There is less time wasted gathering wood or less money spent buying wood.

“Taking care of health and protecting the environment”

Traditional stoves can harm people and the planet!

Smoke from inefficient stoves can contribute to respiratory issues, cardiovascular disease, and eye problems.
When wood is burned it emits CO₂. By cutting wood use in half, the Dos por Tres stove saves about 15 tonnes of CO₂e emissions over the 6-year life of the stove.

At Proyecto Mirador, we specialize in the construction of Dos por Tres improved stoves that are built in the kitchen of every home:

With each stove, we are reducing15 tons of CO2e,
contributing to improved health, reducing
firewood consumption, and preventing tree logging.

EXPERIENCE

Over 300,000 improved stoves built, benefiting over 1 million people in Honduras and Guatemala.

Proyecto Mirador began in 2004, with 3 employees. Today, there are more than 270 direct and indirect employees, all working for the same cause.

How did we achieve this?

Our motto is “No Cuesta, No Cuida.”
We use a co-investment model, meaning we co-invest in building a stove, users come with bricks and mortar, we come with specialized stove parts and technical know-how.
We respond to requests from the communities we serve.
We don't market our stove, our success comes from our users talking to each other.
We serve people most in need.
