Sustainability is major value in the Barefoot College.

The use of solar energy is

already a very good example. With the solar-electricity systems, the villagers do not
need kerosene anymore. Their lives are supported by the sun. They now have
unlimited and sustainable power. Besides electricity, the use of water in the Barefoot
College also embodies sustainability, with the implementation if Rainwater
Harvesting. Every drop of water that drops on the rooftops or the ground is stored in
the tanks. People can use the fresh water whenever they want. Apart from all these
equipment, what the Barefoot College is doing is already a good example of
sustainable development. They do not directly give financial support or resources to
the villagers. Instead, they educate the villagers and lead them to find and use the
resources on their own. This way, the villagers can also teach their offspring and the
knowledge will sustain forever.
