BAREFOOT COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL

Our mission is to make vocational and educational opportunities accessible to women and girls from the most marginalized communities around the world. We believe providing these opportunities to women is the solution to ensuring long-term climate, economic and social resilience for rural communities globally... With a geographic focus on the world's least developed countries, we work in a decentralised way through a series of regional training centres to train rural women as solar engineers, entrepreneurs and educators. These women then return to their villages to bring clean energy, learning, and economic and social empowerment to their community... The Barefoot College connects rural communities to solar, water, education, professions and advocacy to help communities and individuals take control of their lives and the wellbeing of their communities.
