Our non-profit cookstove program featuring the Dos por Tres stove:

  • Is comprehensive and unique vs other cookstove solutions.
  • Saves 2.73 metric tons of CO2 greenhouse gas per stove per home per year.
  • Vents toxic smoke out of the house, helping prevent respiratory illness.
  • Uses about 1/2 the amount of firewood of a traditional stove, preventing degradation of fragile areas.
  • Improves the economic welfare of poor families saving them time and money.

Proyecto Mirador is a registered charity in Honduras (PM LLC) and is also a registered 501(c)3 charity in the U.S. All funds collected on behalf of Proyecto Mirador are only used in Honduras to build stoves.

 Me encanta mi Dos por Tres (I love my stove)!  I use about half the amount of wood that I used before so we spend less time collecting wood. My food cooks faster so I don’t have to spend as much time by the fire.
