Isang Bote ng Liwanag (A Bottle of Light)

We all know how important light is. It's the source of life and nobody can argue with it. Without light the Earth would be colder than you expect it to be and living on it would be impossible. This is just one of the importance of light in our life.

A group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed and developed a Solar Bottle Bulb based on the principles of appropriate technologies - a concept that provides simple and easily replicated technologies that address basic needs in developing communities. This technology then spread to the whole world and helps a lot of countries having problems in electricity.

MyShelter Foundation, a non-stock and non-profit Organization in the Philippines, created a project called Isang Litrong Liwanag, a sustainable lightning project, which aims to bring eco-friendly Solar Bottle Bulb to areas having electricity problems in the country.

Please see video below for actual application of this project.
