Use your small change to See. Change…

Leah was taken because she is a girl. She remains in captivity because she’s a Christian.

In February 2018, 15 year-old Leah Sharibu was taken from her school in Northern Nigeria, along with over 100 other girls by gunmen from an Islamic extremist group. After a month, the girls that were still alive were released, all except one – Leah.

Leah wasn’t released because she refused to give up her faith. She chose Jesus over freedom.

Across the world Christian women and girls are doubly at risk: targeted for being female, persecuted for being a Christian. This is a hidden problem. Open Doors’ vision is that every woman who is persecuted for her faith and gender is seen, valued and empowered to reach her God-given potential. And that’s why we want you to get a See.
