A Liter of Light (Isang Litrong Liwanag)

A Liter of Light (Isang Litrong Liwanag) The Liter of Light is inspired by many innovations from around the world. Many cultures have used glass bottles to allow light through the roof.

Isang Litrong Liwanag (A Liter of Light), MyShelter Foundation’s latest venture, is a sustainable lighting project which aims to bring the eco-friendly solar bottle bulb to disprivileged communities nationwide. Designed and developed by students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), The Solar Bottle Bulb is a device based on the principles of Appropriate Technologies – a concept th

Light changes everything.

It allows children to study after dark.
Families to feel safer at night.
Communities to gather, work, and dream beyond sunset.

This International Day of Light, we are reminded that access to sustainable light should never depend on geography or income.

A brighter future must be shared by everyone.

And sometimes, a single solar lamp can spark the biggest transformation.

For over a decade, Liter of Light has worked with communities around the world to prove one thing:

The future of sustainable energy does not need to be centralized, expensive, or out of reach.

It can be built locally.
By ordinary people.
Using simple solar technology and collective action.

This International Day of Light, we celebrate every volunteer, student, artisan, engineer, and community leader helping build light for a sustainable future.

A sustainable future is not built someday in the future.
It is built today, by the choices we make now.

This International Day of Light, Liter of Light celebrates the power of simple, human-centered solutions that place clean energy directly into the hands of communities.

Because sustainability is not just about technology.
It is about dignity. Participation. Resilience. And hope.

Every one of our hand-built solar lamps is proof that a brighter future can be local, inclusive, and community-powered.

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.

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
