Barefoot College Helping Repair Rural Communites:

My community management story is of the Barefoot College. Who is working with locals to rediscover their past in hopes of a brighter
future. By combining indigenous knowledge
and green technology to create sustainable villages. Rural handicraft is
one of the many projects that the Barefoot College is helping
communities with. It is focused on woman empowerment, whenever something is sold
the women are encouraged to manage
their own bank accounts, teach others their craft and learn to read and
write. In the area of Healthcare the college promotes immunizations, child care, mother care,
medical camps, family welfare, medical check ups, and more. The college
has also helped communities find water
supplies, build wells,
and harvest water.

Under education, children are taught basic math, hindi, social studies, english and more. Along with what is relevant to the immediate enviroment of the
working children such as learning about local revenue officials, rural
artisans, doctors, midwives, and more. Children are also introduced to
the concepts of democracy and political structures and processes of
India. They are taught about money ,lending, harmony, minimum wages,
right to information, employment and more. The communities are also taught about solar energy
and how to create and build solar panels to help their villages and to
provide power where there was none before.Thanks to the Barefoot College
communities are thriving and people are learning about their environment and how to help
their communities more each
day. The most important thing to know is that if you help someone gain
knowledge then they can help themselves and others in their communities.
But someone must always be there to help at the beginning. Who is working with locals to rediscover their past in hopes of a
