Today I want to share an update on our 2025 admissions season. I want to share some numbers with you, and I want to share what those numbers mean to me. The numbers first. This year, we received 5,416 applications from Afghan girls who want to attend @solaafghanistan in Rwanda.…

“Education is a tool of liberation,” a @solaafghanistan girl once said. She’s right. On our campus in Rwanda, Afghan girls live together and learn together and grow to see each other as sisters. The bonds forged here will last a lifetime, and these girls will be among the leaders…
زمانی یکی از متعلمین سوله گفته بود که "آموزش وسیله آزادیست". او راست میگوید. دختران افغان در مکتب ما در رواندا با هم زندگی میکنند و یکجا میاموزند و طوری بزرگ میشوند که یکدیگر را خواهر خود میداند. پیوندی که در اینجا ایجاد میشود، برای تمام زندگی ادامه میابد و این دختران از جمله…
