Will the Barefoot College work in your communities?

The Barefoot College will work anywhere in any poor rural community anywhere in the world where:

• there is extreme poverty.
  
  
• the rural communities are neglected,deprived and forgotten so they have no choice but to develop and depend on their own knowledge and skills.
  
  
• where families in the communities depend on each other and not on people from outside - thus all knowledge and all skills are useful, necessary and respected.
  
  
• where the percentage of ILLITERACY is high so the oral tradition is rich, and knowledge and skills are traditionally passed down from one generation to another.
