Bright spark! By Florent from Saint-Eugène


BBC News video

'Litre of Light' is a development initiative to light the homes of the poorest in the world. The video talks about the Philippines in particular.

To light their homes, the inhabitants slide bottles filled with water in their roofs. This system is very practical because the sun light from the outside passes through the water in the bottle by refraction and brings the light inside the home or workshop for free!

It's practical, economical, ecologically irreproachable, and helps Third World countries develop.

  3. Comment by Valentin, Martin and Corentin from Sainte-Marie: What an ingenious man! It's a really simple invention but it probably will be of great advantage to thousands of poor people living in shanty towns. Furthermore, it is very cheap and will bring light to a lot of poor families.
