COME LIGHT UP BRAZIL WITH US!
Around 800 million people worldwide currently do not have access to electricity. In Brazil this number is approximately 2 million people!*
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.
Social impacts
Daniel
"We have about 200 families in the community, and the change has brought security, especially for women who work and arrive at night without any lighting, and also for our children who play in the square. It also helps show the people living around us that there is a person here, a family here—to help them see us better."
Maria Clara
"What the Litro transformed in me was my worldview. My vision was very focused on my community, and the Litro opened up a world of possibilities. It’s incredible how the Litro works, bringing an experience into the community that many have never had. I had never seen anything so welcoming."
