Our commitment


Our mission is to drastically increase the use of energy-efficient, clean-burning cookstoves at the base of the pyramid while involving and empowering local communities throughout the whole cookstove value chain.
users in Nepal Prakti Design's dedication and commitment to efficient cookstoves and social impact have been recognized by its peers along the venture's various development stages. Where ever they are found our stoves have consistently win acolades from users and program implementers. Through our replicable, high-impact model we plan on disseminating 10 million stoves within the next 10 years.


To achieve its mission, Prakti Design advocates value. We design and promote locally-adapted stoves that trigger high user satisfaction and will become sustainable market-based solutions to diverse social needs.
Cooking is at the heart of daily life, with uses and habits transmitted through generations. In home kitchens, improved cookstoves compete with the free alternatives constituted by three stone and open fires. Therefore our aim is not to produce the cheapest stove � as it will inevitably be more expensive than its field competitors, but to create a stove with high value.

Our philosophy is to design and promote cookstoves that embody value in the eyes of their users and appeal to customer behavior patterns. This implies fuel savings and fewer toxic emissions as much as critical choice criteria such as compliance to local habits, durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal. Only then improved cookstoves will become a competitive, aspirational, and high-impact technology.
