WorldStove is committed to creating useful and innovative carbon negative products that increase quality of life for individuals and households around the globe.
We recognize that in order to make a difference we must think beyond building efficient stoves. It is necessary to have a strategy promoting:
• Adaptation of fuel efficient ways of cooking, heating and power generation;
• Creation of economic opportunities for participating households; and
• Development of individual and community capacity to continue to innovate on an environmentally friendly trajectory.
Currently all of our products are manufactured in Italy and in local communities in developing nations where the LuciaStove technology is being used. We do this to ensure that our method of production remains in keeping with our values. Often, a lower price indicates substandard working conditions, an unhealthy working environment and inferior craftsmanship. By working with local manufacturers in Italy and in the communities we directly serve, we are more certain that the means of production are not contributing to the growth of the complex system of poverty, but working in tandem with the technology of our stoves to change it.
