Growth, Healing, and Love: The Journey Continues

By Mette | Project Leader

Malaria season
Malaria season

Dear donor,

We hope this message finds you well.

Malaria Season and Urgent Needs
As the rainy season begins in Nigeria, malaria cases reach their peak—and so does the risk for our children. Every year, all of them are affected, and for the youngest, the disease can be deadly. At Land of Hope, we act fast. The moment a child shows symptoms, we test and begin treatment immediately. You help us provide life-saving care and ensure our children enjoy a safe summer without the threat of malaria.

David’s Journey: From Fear to Hope
In 2018, we rescued David. He was just 6 years old, alone and terrified, hiding in the bushes after being accused of witchcraft. Villagers were hunting him, believing he was possessed by evil spirits. If we hadn’t found him that day, he may not have survived. Today, David is a kind, gentle, and deeply caring young man. He is proof of what love and protection can do. He was never a witch. Witches don’t exist.

Healing Through Art
Art plays a powerful role in our children’s healing. Over the years, we’ve seen deeply traumatized children find calm and connection through a paintbrush. Art therapy helps them access emotions that words can’t always reach. For children like Possible, Life, and Israel, art class marked the turning point in their recovery. And perhaps most beautiful of all is watching our other children welcome them in, creating a space of friendship and safety.

A Proud Milestone
From the moment we rescued them—Samuel, Abia, Anefiok, Grace, Ekemini, Deborah, Sara, Godwin, and Victory—they have grown with us. Now, after 8 to 12 years of care, they’ve all graduated from secondary school and are preparing for university entrance exams. As a mother to nearly 100 children, Anja is bursting with pride. Thank you for helping us build their future.

Forever grateful,
Your team at Land of Hope
