An Elementary School for Girls -1907

Following the battle  in 1898, when the Anglo-Egyptian army decisively defeated the Sudanese nationalist forces, a young Sudanese survivor of that battle, Babiker Badri, journeyed up the Blue Nile and settled in the village of Rufu'a. There he opened a secular school, as opposed to the traditional religious schools, for boys.
