One stove saves our planet 15 tonnes of carbon pollution
A carbon offset project building healthy, fuel efficient cookstoves in Honduras
Our carbon offset project builds clean cookstoves that improve the health and environment for Honduras rural poor by:
Spending 4-6 hours a week gathering firewood is a drag. Our Dos por Tres stove cuts the time in half.
Users don’t “buy a stove” but co-invest in their stove by supplying local materials. Here’s why we have a no cash model and engineered the stove to last.
We all emit carbon pollution into the atmosphere every day. Installing an Improved Stove like ours reduces CO2 emissions.
Our stove is built from scratch from local materials; we support construction companies, brick makers and steel workers among others.

Why Choose Mirador?

Leadership
Honduras and U.S. combined professional business and on-the-ground experience.
Data
Every technician has a smart phone and we collect household data on every stove. We know where our stoves are and who is using them.
Highest Quality

Fights Poverty and Violence
Honduras is one of the poorest, most dangerous countries in the world. In the rural areas, poverty is extreme.
