 SOLAR BOTTLE BULB
Thousands of poor homes in
Manila have a problem, not
uncommon for cramped and
small settlements.

These houses are so close

together, with metal roofing that
all the light is blocked off and no
light reaches the homes even
during daylight!
Illac Diaz
Established the MyShelter

employment opportunities.

Diaz was inspired by MIT

work in Haiti.

“Isang Litrong Liwanag” Project In Manila
Per the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the idea is actively being
promoted by MyShelter Foundation Inc. in the Philippines under
its “Isang Litrong Liwanag” Project which means ” A Liter of
Light” and it was launched in San Pedro, Laguna province early
this year.

Isang Litrong Liwanag is a Philippines-based organization

aiming to build indoor lighting in one million homes throughout
the country by 2012. The Manila City government shouldered
the expenses for making the bulbs while MyShelter Foundation
trained residents on how to make them.
