The Vital Stove : a solution for Haïti

At every level, organizations and individuals are getting prepared to help the Haitian people, who are going through a major crisis. The Vital Stove, an ecological stove designed for extreme conditions, can help both victims and stakeholders.

Canadian product, the Vital Stove uses every dry biological material as a source of fuel. While the streets of the cities affected by the seism are full of debris, its use is accessible to everyone. To boil water rapidly, for cooking or comforting heating, the Vital Stove reaches a sheer heat superior to every similar stove on the market. As for medical use, its flame can sterilize medical instruments, incinerate soiled materials or cauterize wounds.

Since it doesn’t rely on toxic fuel, the Vital Stove is safe to use in camps or near children. It is also so light and compact that it can easily be carried by its users, whatever the conditions. Moreover, this stove is so safe that it can be transported by plane without restriction.

The Vital Stove is just right for a successful intervention in Haïti, because it facilitates access to sterilized water and sustains the work of stakeholders.
