In June 2026, the initiative took place in the Corumbá region of the Pantanal, the world's largest inland wetland and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. A total of 158 families in the communities of Aldeia Uberaba, Barra do São Lourenço, Amolar, Aterro do Binega, Chané, Bonfim, Paraguai Mirim, and Ilha Verde received 178 solar lighting units, including 158 solar lamps and 20 solar-powered streetlights."Over these five years of partnership with Audi, the project has continued to gain strength and attract growing volunteer engagement. Every year is special, and this year we once again demonstrated the potential of local communities to act as stewards of their environment and ensure the long-term use of the installed lighting systems," said Rodrigo Eidy, President of Litro de Luz Brasil.To ensure strong community involvement, workshops were held in advance to train local ambassadors who will be responsible for maintaining the solar lighting systems and ensuring their long-term operation."Participating and witnessing the reaction of residents when they receive the lights is an incredible experience. The project enables households to have off-grid lighting during the evening hours. The Pantanal, with its rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, remains largely untouched by human development, making mobile lighting solutions like these even more valuable," said Karine Fernandes, Head of People and Culture at Audi do Brasil.Since the project began, 2,985 people have benefited from access to solar lighting. During this period, 95 volunteers from Litro de Luz Brasil and 39 volunteers from Audi do Brasil have participated.

In the fourth year of the partnership between Audi do Brasil, Litro de Luz, and the Audi Environmental Foundation, 575 people benefited from the initiative to provide lighting solutions to remote areas of the Amazon region.A total of 177 families in the communities of Santa Izabel (61 families), São Francisco de Aruaú (82 families), and Nova Esperança do Apuaú (34 families) received solar lighting systems, including 177 streetlights (one per family) and an additional 22 solar-powered streetlights.In Nova Esperança do Apuaú, 34 streetlights and eight light poles were installed; in Santa Izabel, 61 streetlights and eight poles; and in São Francisco de Aruaú, 82 streetlights and six poles."Returning to the Amazon region, where our partnership with Audi began, was truly special. Once again, we experienced not only the vast scale and natural beauty of the region but also the active participation of local communities in the installation and maintenance of solar lighting systems [...]," said Rodrigo Eidy, President of Litro de Luz Brasil.As in previous years, workshops were conducted prior to installation to train residents in maintaining and servicing the lighting infrastructure. An assembly workshop for compact solar energy solutions was also held at the Audi Alphaville dealership in the São Paulo metropolitan area.Renowned surfer Pedro Scooby, brand ambassador for Audi do Brasil, participated in the training program. He supports the initiative as part of Audi do Brasil’s social engagement activities. The workshop prepared volunteers and Audi do Brasil team members to transfer their knowledge to local communities.The 2025 initiative was also intended to draw attention to the situation in the Amazon region in the context of COP30 communications in Brazil. The conference will take place in Belém, Pará, an Amazon-region city that will host the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30).

In 2024, villages without permanent access to electricity were once again provided with solar-powered lighting systems that operate independently of the public power grid.The project focused on the Lower Xingu Indigenous Territory in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. A total of 20 Indigenous communities, 140 families, and more than 600 residents received 170 compact lighting and energy solutions, including solar lamps and solar-powered poles."This is the third year of our partnership with Audi do Brasil and the Audi Environmental Foundation, and undoubtedly the most challenging. Providing solar solutions to these 20 villages and learning firsthand about life in the Xingu Indigenous Territory has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The project not only brings light to Indigenous communities but was implemented in close coordination with representatives of those communities," said Rodrigo Eidy, Head of Litro de Luz Brasil.The project areas were identified using a database maintained by Litro de Luz that records communities with limited or no access to electricity. Working together with local leaders, the NGO selected villages within the Xingu Indigenous Territory that lacked reliable connections to the public power grid.Beyond providing access to lighting, the project also aims to support and celebrate the traditional Indigenous culture of the Xingu region. This important conservation area is home to a wide range of plant and animal species and serves as a reference point for the cultures and traditions of the Indigenous peoples living there.

In 2023, the initiative continued in Indigenous and Caiçara communities along the southern coast of the state of São Paulo.Together with local residents, 40 volunteers from Audi do Brasil and Litro de Luz assembled and installed 140 lighting systems, including solar lamps and solar poles equipped with lithium batteries.Approximately 147 families in 12 communities across the municipalities of Cananéia and Ilha do Cardoso benefited from the initiative.

The partnership between Audi do Brasil, Litro de Luz, and the Audi Environmental Foundation began in 2022 with an initiative supporting 200 settlements in the Amazon region.A total of 30 solar poles and more than 150 solar lamps were installed, benefiting over 600 people in the communities of Nova Canaã, Nova Jerusalém, and Lindo Amanhecer.
