Back2Back completes Barefoot challenge.

Barefoot Challenge is an Indian energy venture benefiting African communities.

The Barefoot Women Solar Engineers of Africa aims to improve the lives of people living away from any electricity supply in rural parts of Africa - giving them clean, renewable and low cost sources of energy. Since 2005, 81 women, often illiterate, have trained as solar engineers at the Barefoot College in India - learning how to fabricate, install and maintain solar lighting systems in their villages in Africa. Transforming the lives of over 2000 families, they are helping to reduce the impact of forest depletion in local communities and their dependence on kerosene and diesel. Back2Back productions ltd created a 6 minute piece on the work of the ‘barefooters’ and the benefits to the community.
