Empowering Rural Futures: Sustainable Innovation for Lasting Impact

Barefoot College is a 50-year-old organization founded by Sanjit ‘Bunker’ Roy, applying Gandhian principles to empower marginalised communities. The work took shape in practical domains like water, education, solar, health, and rural livelihoods.

Why they are the right choice for others:

  • Enable marginalized rural communities to participate in planning, executing, and maintaining their own frameworks for development
  • Advocate for policy reforms that support sustainable development and the needs of rural communities by lobbying governments, partnering with international organizations
  • Work in domains like water, education, solar, health, advocacy, environment, communications and rural livelihoods including handicrafts.
