Illac Diaz: Making Solar Energy More Accessible

Liter of Light  started in 2013 at a very dark time in the Philippines, as an emergency lighting system during one of the first and largest category five storms, typhoon Haiyan.   Today, as the founder and global director of Liter of Light, Illac Diaz has built both a grassroots and a global movement. It uses inexpensive, readily available materials to make high-quality solar lighting for people with limited or no access to electricity. But it goes beyond just providing solar lights and into empowering and upskilling local communities to build their own.    This podcast is by Expo Live, produced by Kerning Cultures Network.
