Proyecto Mirador builds fuel efficient cookstoves in the poorest villages of rural Honduras.

 

"Dos por Tres" means "In an Instant" and the stove removes toxic smoke & reduces wood use that fast.
I can even roast coffee and my kitchen stays white.
Imagine cooking meals in this kitchen.
Over 25,000 stoves have been built with 12,500 constructed in 2011.
The cook breathes this smoke all day long.

A Dos por Tres (2x3) Cookstove:

  • Saves 2.73 metric tons of CO2 greenhouse gas and black carbon soot from escaping into the atmosphere each year.
  • Vents toxic smoke out of the house, helping to prevent lung disease and respiratory illness.
  • Uses about 1/2 the amount of firewood of a traditional stove, preventing deforestation and degradation of fragile areas.
  • Improves the economic welfare of poor families who save time gathering wood or money buying wood.

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.
