About this project

In rural Burkina Faso woody biomass from local forests is the principle source of energy for everyday cooking. This micro-scale VPA project promotes the distribution and use of the “F3PA” (or 3-stones mud) efficient cook stove in the Northern rural zones of Burkina Faso more specifically in the municipality Bam Province. The F3PA wood stoves will replace the traditional open air three stone cooking method whilst respecting the local three stone cooking culture.
