After fleeing Afghanistan to continue educating girls, SOLA opens a permanent school in Rwanda
Shabana Basij-Rasikh, founder of the School of Leadership of Afghanistan (SOLA), has established a permanent school in Rwanda to continue educating Afghan girls. SOLA, which had previously been based in Kabul, relocated to Rwanda after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021. The school now has 122 students and will double its capacity with the opening of its new campus.
SOLA also offers an online education platform, SOLAx, which has reached 41,000 students globally, providing education to Afghan girls who lack access to in-person schooling.
