Lighting up Brazil, one bottle at a time
How our work works
Litro de Luz works with its own methodology, called "Our Way," certified by the Banco do Brasil Foundation as a social technology. This methodology enables the mobilization of volunteers, mapping of communities, understanding of their needs, and training of residents for the installation, replication, and maintenance of the technology. During this process, local leaders are identified and trained as Ambassadors, who then represent the organization within the community. It is this model that ensures the engagement of residents and guarantees that the action has a lasting impact. Below, a simplified version of the methodology:
1
Community Search and Selection
Constant search for feeding the National Community Database, with predetermined data.
2
Local Approach
Beginning of closer contact within the community, getting to know leaders and community members, to introduce Litro de Luz Brazil and understand their needs.
3
Strengthening of Leadership
Formation of Ambassadors who will learn the construction and maintenance of the solutions, becoming representatives of Litro de Luz in the community.
4
Action
Day of assembly and installation of the solutions in partnership with the community.
5
Post-Action
Monitoring the operation of solutions and the community's situation, to maintain the impact.

Experiences that Illuminate
Edileia
Ocupação Anchieta, Grajaú – SP
"I saw that group of people dressed in blue carrying pipes, carrying concrete, and I didn't understand at first, but I found it interesting. When the day ended, and I saw those 'PVC pipes filled with concrete' lit up at night, with a bottle in the lamp, I thought it was truly magical. The feeling was one of impact when I saw that bottle shining."
