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

"Before, I had no life perspective at all—it didn't matter to me one way or the other. But today, I have the desire to go beyond. I found myself with a different life expectation than I had before."

"I had never taken a course in my life, and for someone who doesn't read well, it was very good for me—a great joy. It used to be difficult to recognize the community, but not anymore, because now we have that [post] right in front, sis. And it's a happiness."
