The boy, now named Hope, was found emaciated and riddled with worms after being forced to live off scraps thrown to him by passersby for eight months.

He was finally rescued after being discovered naked and wandering the streets on January 31 by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman living in Africa.

Nigerian boy, now named Hope was emaciated and riddled with worms when he was discovered naked and wandering the streets on January 31 by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman
Loven said Hope was accused of being a witch and was shunned from his Nigerian community

Horrified by Hope's condition, Ms Loven bent down and began feeding him and giving him water from her bottle.

She then wrapped the disorientated and sick toddler up in a blanket, holding him in her arms, before taking him to the nearest hospital for treatment.

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.

'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.'

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.

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
Shortly after Ms Loven asked for the community's help with Hope's costly medical bills, she received $1million 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.

Things like this makes me so angry and sad at same time. When will africans move from such barbaric thoughts.

What pains me most is when this little poor boy becomes a successful person then you will see his shameful parents pretending to be his real parents.

Candid opinion; these are people,NGO's,our IDP camps etc that need Mark Zuckerberg's money....not poor Kim&Kanye who has gone on this relentless tirade and seeking for help on Twitter
