Prakti Design
| Mission | Prakti strives to dramatically increase the use of energy-efficient, clean-burning stoves at the base of the pyramid. We believe that no woman should have to undertake a daily activity as basic and essential as cooking under conditions that will damage her health, diminish her economic productivity, and corrode her opportunities for greater social empowerment. |

Prakti’s line of household stoves incorporate a number of proprietary and patent-pending technologies that improve combustion characteristics, improve durability, and improve the user experience. Prakti offers three portable institutional stove models that can reduce emissions by over 90% and fuel consumption up to 80%.
