High impact mission projects to provide timely and sustainable solutions for urgent
issues in Thomas/in HaitiBruce Campbell , June 26, 2011
Deforestation and loss of topsoil
Main Market in Port au Prince
Meeting at a Dry Land Farm
Sustainable infrastructure and appropriate technology improvements for the School Lunch Program and School in general
School is microcosm of community Pyrolytic Stoves and Kitchen Improvements Organic Kitchen Garden(s) and Composting Bio-sand Filters Dry Eco-sanitation Greywater collection and use Rainwater harvest and water harvesting earthworks Permaculture Approaches to restore soils, watersheds and
sustainable communities
The Farmer and the Children
Pyrolytic stoves (with kitchen improvements)
Smoke from Cooking fires kill thousands of women and children in Haiti every year (CO poisoning and chronic lung damage)
Charcoal costs for cooking average 40% of monthly budget for many Haitian families ($275/month for Charcoal in School Lunch Program)
Deforestation and destruction of new growth continues because charcoal is so valuable/expensive
The School Kitchen
Charcoal at the market
Pyrolytic Stove Solutions
Eliminates most smoke and CO (healthy cooking environment)
Can burn almost any dry biomass (inexpensive & eliminates need for wood/deforestation)
Can produce valuable by-product/income stream: bio-char
Carbon negative Possible small businesses fabricating pyrolytic stoves Working with WorldStove President

cooks dinner, too
Lucia Stove for Institutional Use
Organic Kitchen/Demonstration Garden(s) and Composting
Collaboration between local farmers and school Teach children / parents how to grow nutritious
