Barefoot College

Since 1972, the Barefoot College has worked to improve the lives of the rural poor. The College addresses basic needs for water, electricity, housing, health, education and income.

Semi-literate women and men from fifteen countries around the world are currently training at the Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan, India to become barefoot solar engineers. After six months of training, these women and men will return to their own countries and solar-electrify their own communities.

You can learn more about the College's community-based development work through this collection of Barefoot College books and films.
