The Tuki Wasi Project, meaning 'Pleasant House' in Quechua, is a groundbreaking initiative in Peru that focuses on delivering certified improved cookstoves to rural communities. These cookstoves are designed to replace traditional wood-burning stoves, which contribute to indoor air pollution and CO2 emissions. The project operates under the Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMO) mechanism established by Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

By targeting the installation of 40,000 certified improved stoves by 2030, Tuki Wasi aims to make a significant impact on reducing global emissions. It is estimated that this initiative could help avoid between 400,000 and 750,000 tons of CO2 equivalent. Microsol plays a crucial role as the Entity Responsible for the Program, overseeing monitoring, reporting, and evaluation processes. The project receives support from financing partners like the Climate Cent Foundation and KliK Foundation, with local implementers carrying out the operations.

The core focus of Tuki Wasi is on both technical and social sustainability. This approach ensures the functionality, maintenance, and acceptance of the improved cookstoves within the community. By embedding long-term resilience and climate impact in vulnerable regions of Peru, the project aims to enhance local well-being and contribute to sustainable development.
