The Himalayan Stove Project is a humanitarian & philanthropic program, dedicated to preserving the Himalayan environment and improving the health of the people living in the trans-Himalayan region. We donate and distribute, free, clean-burning, fuel-efficient Envirofit cook stoves, transforming the lives of individuals and families who now cook with traditional, rudimentary stoves or over open fire pits inside their homes, consuming excessive amounts of precious fuel and polluting the indoor air to dangerously unhealthy levels. (Our legal name was changed from the Paul Basch Memorial Foundation).
