Illac Diaz and his Liter of Light on for Guinness World Record

Under the patronage of the Zayed Future Energy Prize in celebration of its 10th anniversary, social enterprise Liter of Light on Wednesday attempted to set a Guinness World for building solar light in order to raise awareness and action for the millions of people in the Philippines and around the world who lack access to clean, affordable energy.

Taking place in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Liter of Light won the seventh edition of the Zayed Future Energy Prize in the Non-Profit Organization (NPO/NGO) category in 2015, and is the only Filipino organization to have won this prestigious prize.
