as compared to only 30 or 40 percent for a man.

Do you own a business in Kabul? Work for an international organization in Afghanistan? Have connections in the Middle East? Run a medical surgery in the U.S.?

Our students are always looking for opportunities to spend a summer learning new skills. 


Investing in SOLA changes lives!
