SOLA on CBS's 60 Minutes.

This is news I’m honored and humbled to share: on Sunday, February 26, SOLA is scheduled to appear on 60 Minutes on CBS.

This story has been months in the making, and last summer correspondent Lesley Stahl and her team spent time with us on campus in Rwanda. I’m deeply thankful to Lesley and everyone at 60 Minutes who made this possible.

Barring breaking news, the show airs on Sunday at 7pm Eastern/Pacific times. My understanding is that it’ll be available for streaming starting on Tuesday the 28th. CBS uploaded a short promo clip this afternoon, and it’s online here.

SOLA, like you’ve never seen us before. On Sunday, the voices of Afghan girls will be heard.
