Litro de Luz Brazil: a history written by volunteer hands

Our solutions

The lack of lighting or poor lighting inside the houses (using, for example, a kerosene lamp or candle) makes it difficult for children to study, work (sew until later, make flour with better quality, etc.), carry out activities basics with more comfort and safety (such as dinner, finding medicine, breastfeeding, reading, walking), in addition to generating a risk of fire and, in the case of Candeeiro (kerosene lamp), harmful to health and being a pollutant.

 

The Liter of Light uses simple materials to make solar lighting accessible to the low-income population, bringing light to life for those who do not yet have adequate access to electricity. We train residents for the installation, replication and maintenance of technology. The technologies are made of simple materials like PVC pipe and PET bottle and are based on solar energy.

"Fiquei impressionada com a organização, com a leveza e, especialmente, com a intenção em cada detalhe. O espírito de comunidade sendo construído desde a primeira visita até a montagem conjunta das soluções muda TUDO, traz, de fato, um caráter de desenvolvimento social e não assistencialismo. Enquanto conversávamos na roda final, o que deixamos para trás foram pessoas mais unidas e cientes de uma maior parte de seu potencial em fazer acontecer. Fora que, pessoalmente, resgatou em mim algo que São Paulo nos torna distantes: a simplicidade! Colher frutas do pé com os locais, conhecer mais sobre as flores dos jardins deles e tomar um café fresquinho passado de surpresa não têm preço."
