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.
