CeFHA implemented solar energy in Remote rural village and trained the village women and youth as barefoot solar engineers, who install and repair the solar equipment. The barefoot approach aims at providing poor rural communities with the necessary skills and confidence to tackle their own needs and problems. The implementation process is a community driven and the communities made a collective decision to implement the solar energy. Today the community has taken the total ownership and responsibility for the solar panels and equipment. This has improved every day of the life for women. The light from the solar energy provides women and their families with new livelihood opportunities and increased income. The children educational opportunities were increased. Surplus time due to indoor light in the evening has played a significant role in the women and children’s education in the villages. This village has a literacy course for women group members and children had greater opportunity to go to school. The literacy courses in the women group gave women opportunities for education; civic education; health and hygiene, pre and post natal care and discuss on the other issues of land, water and forests & protection of forest and NREGA.The energy is traditionally a male dominated field worldwide this project initiatives which build the capacities of women through skills, experience and authority, serve as an example of others. The barefoot project exemplified here the potential and necessity for developing energy interventions as a tool to work for gender equality. Only the inclusion of both women and youth perspectives ensure sustainability and optimal use of energy solutions.
