- More Info: SOKOLA is a not-for-profit organisation providing education for remote Indigenous peoples who are unable to access formal education due to geographic and cultural obstacles. The education provided through SOKOLA is aimed at providing the skills required to manage the many problems Indigenous and marginalised communities are faced with due to increasing pressures from the outside world.
