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
Jywakaa Kayabi
"The importance is that the villages need light. Because before, they were in darkness, but today this Litro has illuminated the village. The village courtyard is now lit, and the communities are very grateful for it."

Ocupação Anchieta Grajaú - Rua Bilac - Conjunto Habitacional Brigadeiro Faria Lima, São Paulo - SP, Brasil
"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."
