Litro de Luz is made by people and for all people!
We value diversity in all its forms and believe that different experiences, stories, and perspectives make our work stronger and more transformative.
We are a space of inclusion, where everyone is welcome. Together, we build an environment of respect, active listening, and collaboration—because we know that it’s only possible to light up the world when no one is left behind.
We are a group committed to the pursuit of equal opportunities and fair treatment for everyone, rejecting discriminatory and prejudiced practices that may affect others—such as Liters, community residents, partners, and all people connected to Litro de Luz, as well as society as a whole.
We believe that discrimination must be eradicated from our society by confronting all the ways it manifests in our interactions with every audience we engage with, directly or indirectly.

As a civil society organization, part of Litro de Luz’s mission is to make decisions grounded in respect, care for others, and the building of transparent internal and external relationships, guided by fairer, more ethical, and innovative approaches.
We also understand that, in the face of existing inequalities, it is not enough to reject discriminatory practices—we must take action to correct these imbalances, working to overcome the barriers that limit access to opportunities for each individual we engage with, as well as for the vulnerable communities we serve.
Many of these marginalized groups face discrimination rooted in historical issues that persist to this day and must be addressed through equal opportunities and dignified, fair treatment.
We strive to become an increasingly inclusive, respectful, and diverse environment that promotes Human Rights. To achieve this, we work toward improving the living conditions of the communities we serve while being an organization that welcomes all Litro de Luz volunteers and staff—without exception.
At Litro de Luz, we believe that inclusion and diversity strengthen our organizational culture, making it more vibrant and helping us embrace different perspectives to drive meaningful social transformation.
We are committed to not tolerating any form of hate speech, disrespect, injustice, physical, verbal, or emotional violence, or any offensive language or behavior.
Diversity in the first person
"Leadership in any institution is like a mirror: it reflects the principles and goals of that place. At Liter of Light, this idea is especially important to me. My leadership is guided by kindness, understanding, empathy, and sustainability in all its forms.
As a woman, this approach stands out even more. I have the freedom not to conform to male leadership models. This allows me to bring my own essence and uniqueness to my relationships with the Litro team. The best part is that I don’t feel diminished or infantilized because of it. On the contrary, I can be a responsible, honest, and professional leader, while still being fully myself—expressing my femininity in a light and unrestricted way."
