SOLA: Daring to educate Afghanistan’s girls | 60 Minutes 

Thanks to Rwanda for hosting this girls who will make a difference in the world and Afghanistan.

I’m a lifelong teacher. My heart goes out to these girls and educators with so much love. They are so precious! I was very moved by this report. I hope girls of Afghan will soon be able to have the freedom to learn and live as equals with boys.

I'm so grateful to the Rwandans for their compassion and support for these young women's education. It's so disappointing to see the heartbreaking regression of Afghanistan society at the hands of the Taliban. May each and every one of those girls be successful!

To the girls of SOLA....you are exemplary young women, and so delightful, and dedicated! Much respect to you. Here in America, where children, more often than not, take so much for granted and have little respect for education, I wish that all 3rd graders would be required to watch this interview of you all. (My family was well off when I was born. When I was about 10 years of age, my father took me out to a big farm in Michigan in the summer, where poor laborers worked the fields, living 2 to 3 families in 3-room cinder block houses, with their children! It brought into great clarity for me the privilege my parents hard work had afforded me, and I am now 70 years of age, and have never forgotten or taken it for granted.) You young ladies epitomize the value we all should place on our privilege of education. Blessings to you in your lives.

I have the most highest respect for those girls, they just want to learn let them learn. I'm proud of all of you girls.! My prayers are with all of you and your families.

This story had me in tears and non-stop crying!!!

This story made me so emotional. Shabana is remarkable, and I hope someone in our government is paying attention. Those girls were incredibly strong and resilient, some as young as ten, yet they understood why their education was so important that they had to leave everything behind. The people of Rwanda showed such understanding and compassion. I truly hope that some day Shabana gets to return that rock to Kabul airport.

Rwandans are incredibly good people. Much love from Kenya ❤

Praise God for Rwanda❤️home for Afghan girls.

Praying for the girls of Afghanistan & around the world. 🙏🏽✨️

Shabana, you are a hero. Your courage, attitude, accomplishments and mission to educate Afghan women are an inspiration to all. Thank you and blessings to you, your girls, and to Afghanistan.

Education is important and something some in the west take for granted. Universal rights that we sometimes take for granted. A great look into the lives of these women. Great job on this documentary!

Shabana deserves a nobel prize. If Malala can get it for her crusade for girls education. This is even more heroic and bigger deal.

Lovely! Just warms the heart! Power to the girls of all ages involved.❤

As a Pakistani I pray to Allah All Mighty the Most Kind to give wisdom to Afghan Govt. To let women study.

Shout out to the Brave Women of SOLA! THE BRIGHT FUTURE IS WAITING TO EACH EVERYONE OF YOU . . .

These are what true heroes are.

These girls are fortunate among the Afghani girls. Rwanda is generous to host them.

This is the news I needed to hear today. Blessed be you all.

Prayers for you young ladies, keep your education going and you ladies are just beautiful people

every girl & woman from every nation on earth deserves the right to an education...equality

My heart goes to these brave Afghan women ❤❤😢😢😢

Thanks to Rwanda for hosting these girls and we are so proud of Sabana and all girls who are fighting to get education. I am hearing from many people here in US about Sabana and her amazing work. So happy for this school and good luck with their future ❤

Here in the Phillipines,Rwandan refugees were here too.Everyday I pray for Afghan women for their freedom to study,work and live as human being.More blessings to Shabana,Sola students and all the Refugees.That one day they can go back to Afghanistan,Taliban will be more linient then,removing all the restrictions and live peacefully.Women Empowerment is a Must and needed now to have a progressive country and economy.Women contribute a lot into Future Success. God bless!

Kids here have no idea what. PRIVILEGE it is to have an education.

Wow my uncle was an ambassador for Rwanda for years after the genocide, funny how things work. Im glad to see the country's doing better and so thankful for their help, we afghan girls know how important education is and how much work we have ahead of us. The uniforms look like afghan clothes, to mix it with Rwandese embroidery was an amazing touch💖

A wise friend from India once told me the same thing-the one thing that can never be taken from you is your education. At the time I was in my master’s program and upset about a breakup. I have shared the advice with my 5th graders many times and hope to show my next class this story.

Few things matter more for society than children and education. Amazing story of courage and hope.

This story had me in tears and non-stop crying!!!. Praise God for Rwanda️home for Afghan girls..

Life is what these girls are and survival is most important for the whole world because they are the real future. This is bigger than a country.

Such brave and couragous young women! Shavana is a wonderful foresighted educator.

Such brave girls!! Watching them, gives me great hope and confidence that Afghanistani women are capable to reach their dream : to be free! Fighting the enemy just with education ...EDUCATION IS THE KEY WORD! SOLA...❤❤❤❤❤

This is a powerful story 😢

These girls are my heroes.

What a brave woman!

HOW COULD PEOPLE DISKLIKE THIS??

My heart breaks but I am awed by their courage.

Excellent coverage. Would have liked to see more of Rwanda’s role.

My hearts goes to these women of these countries and prayed for their freedom and safety.

Shabana Jan did something who never done before … She broke all boundaries for those Afghan girls with her intelligence to become future Afghan leaders

Now this is a course that deserves my contribution.

i know this is a positive effort in a positive direction but this really broke my wholeeee heart.

God bless the president of Rwanda and the people of Rwanda .

You do anything you can. Not everyone will do that. Shes a hero

A breathtaking story, seeing the determination of the Afghans and the love of the great people of Rwanda, it’s bound to end well.

I am an Afghan girl, 16 years old, and I live in Afghanistan. I also want to go to Rwanda and study my lessons.

So proud of Rwanda for opening their doors. Didn’t hear about they on the news.

School in US should play these videos for them to watch and learn

God bless Rwanda for this

Rwanda is one of the safest countries in Africa and cleanest lol

Brave women and girls. It's unfortunate that the Afghan government fell as swiftly as it did. While the US withdrawal could have been handled better, it's clear that the Afghan government was far too willing to hand over power. The reality is any foreign intervention will end the same without the ppl of the country behind it.

My sisters and I stopped studying in my land. I enrolled in this Sule school this year, hoping to be accepted

stand up for those lovley girls .the future is getting better and more .salute .加油向上

I salute these afghan women. I wish American feminist take notice on what these women values .

So brave and beautiful, outstanding

0:01: 📚 The decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan has led to a deep crisis, with millions facing famine and the economy in shambles. 5:21: 📚 A school in Afghanistan empowers girls through education and leadership training. 9:46: 🔥 In the chaos of the Taliban takeover in Kabul, students and staff of Sola school had to make a sudden and dangerous escape, leaving behind their records which were burned to protect their identities. 14:45: 😢 A group of students and teachers were caught in a crowded and chaotic situation while trying to reach the airport in Afghanistan. They faced suffocation, shootings, and separation from loved ones. Eventually, they were able to evacuate and find safety. 19:11: 💔 Afghan girls in Rwanda are receiving a formal education while being separated from their families, but the news from Afghanistan is causing them pain. 25:13: 💔 The Taliban's previous rule in Afghanistan prevented girls from receiving an education, but now Sola is working to educate Afghan girls and empower them to be future leaders. Recap by Tammy AI

Gut wrenching to watch.

Excellent feature

Wow they knew every country .!!these girls are SO smart . Amazing im kinda ashamed at my lack of knowledge . After seeing this and their thirst to get an education .

Sound of freedom

Beautiful story. Too bad nothing will change in Afghanistan

Thank God for the home for Afghan girls in Rwanda.

Good for them 👏

If the men of Afghanistan aren't willing to fight for the rights of their women why should young Western men do it, again?

I feel so bad for those young ladies that can't get out. They literally have no future. They have no men that will fight for them to have a future.

Is Sola only for those who are under grade nine? I am in grade twelve, is it possible if I apply? Anyone knows please let me know. Thanks.

i have this conversation with this rwandan fam, please dont forget we were also once refugees, here we are back in ruanda you well go back home but for the time being welcome home to rwandan .

Education is precious. Nobody can take it away from you. Each and every child should be entitled to an education. The Taliban are afraid of women.

May God be with all

This is beautiful, but I'm seeing them living comfortably in Rwanda, while the black kids in Rwanda are suffering and hungry, many have never even seen a swimming pool.

please donate

We are not in the stone age, i pray you can educate the males in your society

I served in Afghanistan in the American military for a year and saw the horrors the innocent suffered. There were babies and young children with limbs amputated in the military hospital. They stared at me with expressions of shock and total incomprehension. Why did they deserve this? It was one of the most unconscionable crimes of this century for the United States to abandon the Afghan people to the Taliban. Both Trump and Biden deserve to burn in hell and be vilified forever in history for this betrayal. I respect and wish the best for the staff and all the students of this school. I really hope that someday you will take back your country from the Taliban. Many people worked very hard to give democracy a chance there. Please do not let that be in vain just because of a few evil, corrupt politicians and an utterly ignorant, uneducated, stupid people in America. Please become more educated than the Americans so that someday you might guide America back to a moral path.

Individuals do make impact of folks lives.Most folks do see good they don't until one funeral when pay last goodbye.

What do you think taliban running schools for? Engineers, doctors, ... 😂😂😂

Who would yank a scarf off a girl’s head? What’s to become of all those little kids who wanted to leave. But didn’t get rescued?

Ig Afghanistan is a member of NATO how can The otan never did anything when The Taliban invade Afghanistan after the US Left?

Blackstone Group Inc. /Hello Sunshine needs to make a film about this story.

Well Done SOLA❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

In Islam, women have a right to seek knowledge and an education. What Taliban srw doung has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. The leaders and Islamic scholars of Pakistan , Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, United Arab emirates, Qatar, Egypt and many other countries all sent out messages on social media condemning that Taliban are refusing girls education and closing down girls school. Sayung the girls and women have a right to education in Islam.

I think the SOLA foundation is a way for U.S to keep eyes on what's happening in Afghanistan. Keep in mind Afghanistan borders Iran. There has been some interest in going to w@r with Iran in recent years.

It is really something. How, the keep bringing in people who are sporting image and boxes of pat famous people in the same roll and positions. This woman must be related to Barbara Wallets. I have thought this for decades.

Do most Afghans prefer the rule of the Taliban or want an independent state? Afghani says if there is anyone

What about widows & orphans?

Hebrews 4: 12 - 13

I wonder if any poor kids got to go to that bording school ??

Why would they want to return if life is so awful. How can they get a job as a Dr if they were never suppose to be educated??????

Leslie is rich... what is she doing to support SOLA?

What about the widows & orphans of our ongoing cultural rape of this country?

I hope US government would accept Afgan women as refugees

Asking the 7th poorest country to educate all people equally that also happened to be conservative and just defeated 2 superpowers, while the international community is in active economic war with said country, is the equivalent of starving people then blame them for eating unhealthy.

Before any others policy not related for development and human rights and other

Freedom for all countries which are suffering from radical Islam. FYI, Mullahs in Iran were completely against female education too but people fought for it. Now, instead of solving the main problem : Taliban, the plan is relocating talented females. 😔

Thank you Jesus for sending your missionaries to us and now we are enjoying your peace and freedom.Hail Jesus the king of kings and of peace and love for all mankind.

Gut wrenching, when will women rise up and stop letting their sons and brothers have so much power and control!!?? I don’t mean just in Afghanistan either. ❤ I feel bad for them in those heavy clothes swimming… 😭😭😭😭
