One of STRO’s main objectives is to diminish and limit the flight of capital from the communities we work with. In order to do so, appropriate technologies for local realities have been developed, promoting the use and consumption of local materials. Our work seeks to reduce the net importation of fuels and of construction materials. To this end, we have developed two projects: Biofuels and Ecohouses.

Biofuels

The biofuels project promotes small-scale biofuel production for local consumption. It is a strategy to create employment, stabilize income sources for small-scale farmers, reduce their dependency on usurers, avoid soil erosion, protect water sources and increase food production.

Ecohouses

The Ecohouses Project is an initiative designed by STRO and implemented by various entities. Its purpose is to promote the design and construction of ecological houses for low-income people in poor rural areas of Latin America, particularly Honduras.
