Barefoot Solar Engineers have solar electrified their own communities in Mali. Since beginning the barefoot approach to providing solar power in poor rural communities, the Barefoot College has trained over 340 semi-literate men and women from 16 states in India and 9 other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Nearly 11,000 solar household systems and over 5,000 solar lanterns provide clean energy and light to more than 125,000 people. Over 1.67 million tons of carbon emissions are saved annually as a result -- and each of these communities enjoys light instead of darkness every night.
