Sanjit Bunker Roy is an Indian social activist and educator whose barefoot College in Tolonia has trained two generations of villagers (over 100,000 people in 110 villages) without any formal paper qualifications to become health-care workers, solar engineers, hand-pump mechanics and teachers in their communities. Roy Bunker believes that communities and governments should tap local wisdom before involving external experts. In Tororo district, the villages of Mugana, Nagoke, and Miganja will be solar Electrified for the first time. Upon hearing about MIFUMI’s struggle to empower the rural abused women during the MDG3 campaign , Roy Bunker visited some Villages in Tororo with the very poor people citing them as beneficiaries from the barefoot college solar electrification Scheme. MIFUMI’s collaboration with the bare foot college in India helped identify four lucky women (two grand mothers and 2widows) to be trained as solar engineers. When they return they will be able to install and service the solar panels in their villages. This will also cut down on costs of purchasing kerosene on daily basis and the environmental and health hazards associated with using wood fuel. Aketch Margret Opio; a grand mother and a widow at 52 years had this to say; ‘Honestly I never dreamed of anything this big in my entire life. I have never been to school, I have just been a good house wife working in my garden to provide food for my family. I am going to become an engineer, literate, be able to do something for my community, earn a salary and Provide for my family. Thank you MIFUMI and Thank you Roy Bunker.’ MIFUMI’s vision is a world where women and children are free from violence and oppression and where everyone has the opportunity to realize their full potential. In pursuit of this vision, MIFUMI has undertaken sustainable improvement in the personal safety and security of disadvantaged women experiencing violence and abuse, with a primary focus on domestic violence and bride price violations. MIFUMI uses a woman centered approach by making women empowerment the central point of its work. This approach is based on the belief that women must be the prime movers and shakers in the struggle for equality.
