A two-year-old boy was left to fend for himself for eight months, living on food thrown to him by passersbys, after he was labelled a witch and shunned by his community.
The Nigerian boy, now named Hope, was emaciated, very fragile and riddled with worms when he was discovered naked and wandering the streets on January 31 by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman working and living in Africa.
Horrified by Hope’s condition, Ms Loven bent down and began feeding him and giving him water from her water bottle.
Ms Loven is the founder of African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation, which she created three years ago to help children that have been labelled as a witch and therefore neglected and even killed by the members of their community.
‘Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we've both seen torture of children, dead children and frightened children,’ she wrote on Facebook, accompanying images of her feeding the young boy and appealing for donations to help pay for his medical bills.

When Hope reached the hospital he was given medication to remove the worms from his belly and daily blood transfusions to incorporate more red blood cells into his body, Ms Loven said.
‘Hope's condition is stable now. He's taking food for himself, and he responds to the medicine he gets. Today, he has had powers to sit up and smiling at us. He's a strong little boy,’ she wrote.
Ms Loven said Hope even plays with her own son.


‘I just don't know how to describe it in words. This is what makes life so beautiful and valuable and therefore I will let the pictures speak for themselves,’ she said.
Two days after Ms Loven asked for the community’s help with Hope’s costly medical bills, she received $1 million in donations from around the world.
‘With all the money we can besides giving hope the very best treatment now also build a doctor clinic on the new land and save many more children out of torture!’ she said.
Ms Loven runs an children’s center where the children she saves live and received medical care, food and schooling.
She and her husband, David Emmanuel Umem, began building their own orphanage in late January.

Many Nigerians are wicked. The so called religious ones are even worse than the devil himself. They have 1million and 1 religious reasons to be wicked and demonic to fellow humans.
Very demonic breed of humans. The ones that are exposed will try their beat to keep their kins men in utter darkness so that they alone will "shine" most of the pastors are worse than whores.Tufiakwa!!!!!

The poor child. As kids my mom would addopt all kids who are homeless or whose step parents were maltreating them. She would massage their bones, take them to our clinic for treatment and we all learnt to be like her. Shame.

Oh my


May God bless the Danish Lady
