A Liter of Light (Isang Litrong Liwanag)

22/04/2026

Climate action isn’t a promise. It’s something you can build with your hands.

This Earth Day, we’re shining a light on our partner organizations, volunteers, and community leaders who are showing what real climate solutions look like: zero-waste, hand-built solar lights built by communities for communities.

Our Power. Our Planet. Action that lasts.

💡Partner with Liter of Light this Earth Day.
💡Invest in visible, community-built climate action.

Thank you to our partners at Mitsui for another successful installation at the Badjao village in Batangas. Hundreds of families were displaced and moved to a new location. These street lights will illuminate the pathway to a brighter future. With partners such as Mitsui we will make life much brighter for all

Where Partnership Meets Community 🌏

Moments like these are what climate action is all about.

Together with and Grundfos Philippines, we celebrated the turnover of solar lights directly into the hands of the community: families gathering, leaders stepping forward, and clean energy becoming part of everyday life.

This is partnership in motion:
💡communities equipped with practical, lasting solutions
💡employees engaging directly with the people they support
💡shared pride in building brighter futures together

With the support of the Poul Due Jensen Grundfos Foundation - PDJF, 9143Connects, and Gpinas (Grundfos Philippines’ Initiative for Nurturing Advocacy & Solidarity), this collaboration continues to strengthen local resilience, one light, one household, one community at a time.

Grundfos Lights Up the World 💡🌏

Our collaboration with Grundfos Philippines goes beyond our solar light building workshops. It supports training, community engagement, and long-term impact.

When our partners invest in community-built climate solutions, the return goes beyond visibility. They see:�✔ credible SDG alignment�✔ meaningful employee engagement�✔ long-term community relationships

This is what meaningful CSR looks like in action.

Thank you Grundfos Foundation - PDJF, through the support of 9143Connects and Gpinas (Grundfos Philippines’ Initiative for Nurturing Advocacy & Solidarity) for working with us to help communities build clean energy solutions that last. 🌞

For Liter of Light, energy access goes far beyond the lights that brighten homes and streets at night. For us, it’s about dignity.

When communities have light, children study longer, families feel safer, and livelihoods grow.

We believe climate solutions must be:
💡community-built
💡locally owned, and
💡designed to last

That belief guides everything we do, from how we train builders to how we work with partners.

Hands building. Communities leading. Light spreading.

Join us and help to spread light and hope to more communities

LOOKING FOR COMMUNITIES TO DONATE SOLAR LAMPS.

Specially if you are a partner that can help us care for them as many are isolated.
Lighting Our Future, Together.

Liter of Light is updating its directory of communities that need access to safe, clean solar lighting, and we’re inviting community leaders and NGOs to partner with us.

If you know of areas that have little to no access to electricity, email us at [email protected] or DM us with some basic details about the community.

🌍 As our CEO David Ireland says:
“Innovation drives the creation of fresh, practical solutions that meet human needs more successfully, sustainably, and inclusively.”

Around 14 years ago in the Philippines, that kind of innovation sparked a powerful idea: using solar power and recycled bottles to bring light to communities without reliable access to electricity. 💡

This simple DIY technology can be replicated anywhere — and it has been.
Today it has grown into a global movement, with more than 150,000 households in the Philippines and 350,000 homes in 15 countries adopting Liter of Light’s approach. ♻️🌞

At Liter of Light, we build clean energy solutions with communities - from our women cooperatives, to our corporate volunteer partners, to the beneficiaries who learn new skills in assembling solar lights by hand.

💡 Solar lights hand-built using locally available materials
💡Women cooperatives trained with green skills and livelihood opportunities
💡Communities gaining safe, reliable light for homes, pathways, and common areas through our hand-built solar reading lights, mobile charging systems, and street lights

This work may look simple on the surface, but it’s powered by systems, skills, and a dedicated team and volunteers who show up in service.

Clean energy access doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built using human hands.

As we welcome this new year, we want to thank the organizations and companies that have shown their support for our community-built climate solutions, like our partners at Genpact Philippines

We are excited to bring light and hope to more communities this 2026 - onward and upward!

Tis the Season to Spread Christmas Joy and Cheer🎄💡

Thank you to Pastor Alex Ruelo, Revelation City Church and our partners at Southville International School for sharing light and hope with the Aeta communities in San Marcelino, Zambales. From our workshops with the village tanods, each of the solar lights built and shared is lighting the path to a joyful holiday and bright future.

A huge thank you to the volunteers of McKinsey Philippines who spent their day in the field helping install hand-built solar lights for families living without electricity.

Moments like these remind us how powerful it is when people use their skills and time in service of others. Today’s impact will shine long after sunset. 🌞✨
