First World Charities Can't Stop Third World Kitchen Fires From Burning People To Death

The title of this post is what my mind got out of this title:
In developing world, an expensive push to reduce cooking fire deaths falls short

In reality, the article is about three things:
  1. The negative health effects of smoke inhalation due to cooking over open fire, which shortens lives in the developing world.
  2. Concerns that the practice of preparing meals using cook fires contributed to global warming and threatened the sustainability of forests.
  3. The fact that trying to solve the problem hasn't exactly gone swimmingly.

My suggestions:
