Stand with Girls Pursuing Their Education

 

In Nigeria 276 girls remain missing after being abducted from their school by the terror group Boko Haram.

The girls were taken because they were pursuing their education – a reminder to us all of the many obstacles related to culture and tradition that girls in many parts of the world must overcome to improve their lives. 

As we pray for the girls’ safe return, we ask you to please stand with girls everywhere risking their lives to attend school. Please provide your email below
