How my brother's accident saved lives
After a family tragedy, Marco Tulio Guerra created a stove, so rural cooking is safer
Growing up in rural Guatemala, Marco Tulio Guerra was accustomed to people cooking using open-fire stoves. It's dangerous because of both smoke inhalation and the flames.

He's designed a stove, which is safer for the billions of people who cook using this method. (Picture credit: M T Guerra.)
