Come light 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.

"I was impressed with the organization, with the lightness and, especially, with the intention in every detail. The community spirit being built from the first visit to the joint assembly of solutions changes EVERYTHING, it brings, in fact, a character of social development and not welfare. As we talked in the final circle, what we left behind were people who were more united and aware of a greater part of their potential to make things happen. Besides, personally, it brought back in me something that São Paulo makes us distant: simplicity ! Picking fruit from the trees with the locals, learning more about the flowers in their gardens and having a freshly brewed coffee as a surprise are priceless."
