ACTIONS

The city of Miracatu, in the countryside of São Paulo, received 30 solar energy street lights. The action was carried out in partnership with Votorantim Energia and was attended by employees of the company. With the active presence of the community were chosen places near two schools in the region, facilitating the way back home of the students.

100 street lights in Jardim Gramacho. 60 installed only in this last action, in May 2019, made through the financing obtained in the edict of the Instituto Nissan. This will be the fourth time that the region has benefited from the ecologically sustainable solutions of the Liter of Light - the other three took place in June and December 2018, and in February 2019.

Until May, the team had already made more than 20 visits to Jardim Gramacho, in recognition of the region, meetings with residents and community leaders, mapping places of installation, and the actions themselves.

The region of Morro do Piauí, in Fercal (Sobradinho), will receive sustainable solar energy street lights from Liter of Light Brazil. 300 local residents were impacted directly by the action financed by Bancorbrás and Votorantim Cimentos.

In addition to enabling community enlightenment, the organization includes, in the working method, interaction with the community; thus, residents learn all the steps, from the assembly to the maintenance of street lights and hand lamps. During the weekend of equipment’s installation, the team also had the help of Morro do Piauí’s residents to implement the 30 street lights. There were 30 volunteers, including members of the Fercal’s Community Council and employees of the Votorantim Cimentos from Sobradinho’s plant, who work in all phases of the project.

The Liter of Light organization, in partnership with AES Tietê, helped 250 residents of the Gurunga and Tabocas communities, in the region of Caetité and Igaporã, to have adequate access to energy. The action of installing sustainable street lights and hand lamps - 70 in total -, that run through solar energy, took place between the March 23rd and 24th.

For the community, the possibility of lighting brings several benefits: more safety for night walking, increased potential for agricultural production, book reading and other activities at night, economy in the light bill.

A partnership between Liter of Light and French employees of Salesforce, a company that creates online softwares on demand, brought lighting to five communities in the Conde region, in Paraíba, from February 3rd to 8th.

Overall, 211 families and about 1,000 people were impacted by sustainable solutions produced by the project in places that did not have adequate access to electricity. The beneficiaries were Vila do Amanhecer, Assentamento Tambaba, Aldeia Tabajaras, Ilha dos Pescadores and Quilombo Mituaçu, which received 213 solutions that work through solar energy: 109 street lights, 80 hand lamps and 24 internal lighting.

In partnership with Brookfield Energia Renovável, Liter of Light installed 20 solar powered street lights in Jardim Gramacho community, Duque de Caxias (RJ), on December 16th, 2018. The work was done by a team of 43 people: 21 volunteers from Liter of Light in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Santa Catarina, 7 invited volunteers and 15 residents from Jardim Gramacho, who participated in the process by learning how to assemble, install and maintain the street lights.

Liter of Light Brazil, in partnership with CPFL Paratininga, distributor of CPFL Energia, which serves 1.7 million customers in 27 municipalities along the coast and countryside of São Paulo, illuminated the region for the first time. In November 2018, about 30 street lights were installed in the common areas of the Condomínio Residencial Parque dos Eucaliptos.

“This important project marks, in addition to our arrival in the countryside of São Paulo, a great step to collaborate with access to safer and more stable community lighting for all” explains Lais Higashi, president of Liter of Light Brazil. The partnership between the distributor and Liter of Light has integrated a series of actions promoted by CPFL focused on energy efficiency in the residential condominium Parque dos Eucaliptos.

2018 already is a great year for some reasons in special: our first action in Bahia and it was the first time Liter of Light hired ambassadors for a continuous work, two months in a row. For this, we had ENEL, one of the biggest private enterprises of electricity in Brazil, worked together with us in this project that enlighted communities around Morro de Chapéu, localized in 400 km from Salvador.

Alecrim, Barracão and Dorme Sujo  received 90 solar lamps, our technology.
