Himalayan Stove Project (HSP)

The Himalayan Stove Project was founded in 2010. Our stoves were manufactured in China, and the Covid epidemic disrupted that, with no clear picture when, or even if, it could be restarted.

 

We reluctantly chose to wind down the project. 

During the decade of its existence, we delivered over 6,5OO stoves throughout Nepal, which had a multi-generational impact on over 5O, OOO people. “Multigenerational” in the sense that youngsters could start school earlier, rather than gathering firewood, and achieve better educations and even higher levels, thereby raising them, and their communities, up to higher achievement

Their mothers benefited also. Improved health because of less exposure to polluting smoke, and less time spent in food preparation, so that they could do more meaningful things like community development, interacting with their peers, and generally leading a fuller, more productive and enriching life.

We, together, MADE A DIFFERENCE and should all be very proud!

Rather than just resting on our laurels, we pivoted to addressing the existential

problem facing our planet, the Climate Crisis, in the hope that we, together as a global community, could make a difference.

Please follow the link to our new website, Champions of the Planet, and join the army of Climate Warriors who are making a difference at the personal and family level.

Let’s ALL live a more environmentally conscious life.

YOUR ACTIONS WILL SHAPE THE WORLD.

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”

-Howard Zinn

You probably know this already, but since the 1850’s our planet has been warming because increasing human activity has been putting a blanket of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. That insulating blanket must be drawn down to mitigate the destructive impact of global warming. Easier said than done, but there are solutions. Please become a Climate Warrior and use the Champions of the Planet website as a resource, a place to find information that will guide you towards actionable steps you can take to help fight climate change.

We’re not buying and delivering stoves, but we ARE making a difference, and that

takes time and staff. If you’re moved to help us financially you can make a US tax deductible donation using the button below. Thank you.
