To address this health problem, Nancy Hughes, a 70 year old widow,
transformed a small Rotary club project into StoveTeam International.

StoveTeam International saves lives and forests
by starting sustainable factories to make fuel-efficient
Ecocina stoves.

Ecocina stoves reduce carbon emissions by 70%. They are nearly smokeless.
Field and laboratory tests show Ecocinas use 50% less wood, thus reducing deforestation.

Ecocinas prevent burns as they are stable and safe to the touch.

In five years, StoveTeam International
has started six factories in five countries:
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and
Nicaragua.

Stove Team’s current project:
Stoves and improved living conditions in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The state of Oaxacahas the
highest percentage of burn victims
in Mexico.
The Mixtec region of Oaxaca has the highest rate of
deforestation in the world.

Most indigenous women in this area
cook over open firesusing wood as fuel.
StoveTeam International hopes to change that by starting a new factory
in the Mixteca.

This will be the first Ecocina factory owned by a woman.

The Dining for Women project will employ indigenous women to promote and sell
Ecocina stoves throughout Oaxaca.

#4 Reduce Child Mortality
-The Ecocina cookstove prevents illnesses and deaths by eliminating smoke in the home and
reducing harmful emissions.
-The stove encloses the fire, protecting women and children from burns.
