The Livelihoods team is dedicated to building food systems that create dignity for farmers while ensuring health and nourishment for the planet.
How you tell a story is everything. We’re curating revolutionary information and developing mediums that will reach and inspire audiences from the most marginalized communities to the most affluent.
The conventional concept of schooling has no place in marginalized communities. We enable rural minds through hands-on, learning by doing methods.
The Barefoot ENRICHE team is invested in rural women. To be strong, safe, self-reliant, healthy, heard, respected, resilient, courageous and equal. No exceptions.
Demystifying and decentralizing solar technology. Our team is working to build sustainable energy at the village level.
Regional Coordinators focus on ensuring trainees have everything needed to succeed on their new journey. They liaise with local NGOs and have a deep understanding of the realities which exist in communities of their regions.
