For over 30 years, the Barefoot College in the small village of Tilonia, in the desert regions of Rajasthan, India has worked to improve the lives of the rural poor by addressing basic needs for water, electricity, housing, health, education and income.
The College trains men and women living in rural communities to become barefoot architects, water supply engineers, teachers, midwives, solar power engineers and paramedics. Once trained, these villagers work within their own communities. This work has been documented in an extraordinary collection of photographs taken by the "Barefoot Photographers of Tilonia."
Tonight an exhibition of their work will open in NYC by founder Bunker Roy. See events listings
