In Afghanistan today, a generation of girls has been pushed out of classrooms—not because of war or poverty, but simply for being girls. Since 2021, when the Taliban took over Afghanistan's leadership, the doors to secondary schools and universities have been shut to them. What once felt like a basic right has now become a distant dream. Many of these young women are sitting at home with potential they cannot use—bright minds, eager to learn, but with nowhere to turn. Without access to education, their futures shrink. Some are forced into early marriages. Others take on low-paid work. What they lose is not just school—it is a sense of purpose and possibility.
SolaTeach was established to create a positive change—quietly, but meaningfully. We connect Afghan girls to online learning opportunities: English, communication, and skills that open doors. With just a smartphone and a bit of courage, many of our students have found new paths—some now study at virtual universities or earn income through online work.
