Rural Women Empowerment

Rural women from India, Jordan, and Africa who have never been to school, are proving, despite patriarchal tradition, that they can become professionals and break backward mindset that confined them to the role of housewives. through a simple 6 month training on the campus of Barefoot College, India, they are learning by doing and are doing by learning. some women will become " solar engineers" and learn how to solar electrify their own village or build a solar cooker; others will preserve and develop traditional skills such as loom weaving.
