Our Keynote Speaker
at the 2018 Human Excellence Awards:
Sanjit “Bunker” Roy founded Barefoot College in 1972, a solar-powered college for the poor. Roy describes the Barefoot College as “the only college where the teacher is the learner, and the learner is the teacher."
Vision of Sanjit "Bunker" Roy
Bunker Roy has brought his vision of a world transformed to over 3.5 Million Ted Talk viewers, and to audiences worldwide who have learned from this visionary teacher, innovator, and social entrepreneur.
Mr. Roy sees opportunity and strength in poor communities where others see only despair and strife. His work includes empowering rural woman and grandmothers to be solar engineers, artisans, dentists and doctors--a roadmap to income and impact that is startling in its transformative capacities.
He started to make his barefoot mark 40 years ago when he founded the Barefoot College in India to support self-sufficiency for rural communities by focusing people on their innate capacities for working in industries as complex as solar energy, water, education, health care, women's empowerment and wasteland development.
Mr. Roy's organization has trained grandmothers from Africa and the Himalayan region to be solar engineers, so they can bring electricity to their remote villages, as an example of his widespread impact.
Most of the school's students are illiterate women and men. Today Barefoot College has expanded his organization's footprint globally with "barefoot campuses" in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
His spirit and energy are powerful and infectious. We are excited to have him join us to celebrate top men and women--serving humanity with solutions that are designed to help end poverty.
We are excited to have you--our partners and supporters--join us that day too.
