Help us save the witch children of Nigeria

Dear donor

Just like you, our world has been (and still is) affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries have been on hold for months now and 2020 has turned out to be quite different from what anyone had planned.

"What can I do?" is a question many of us have been asking for the past couple of months. The human race is powerless to pandemics, yet so powerful in how we've come together by being apart.

Inspirational messages
The children at Land of Hope have also kept their social distance but being the brave little changemakers they are, they also wanted to contribute to fighting the pandemic. We're very proud of them for making this heartwarming 3-minute video where Abraham tells his story and gives you a glimpse of life inside Land of Hope. A group of children also created this 2-minute reminder of how important it is to still practice safety and to always have hope. We hope you'll take a look :)

Land of Hope clothing
You can finally buy sweatshirts and t-shirts to support our children in Nigeria. There are different shapes, colors, and sizes (both for kids and adults) and we ship worldwide. Order here.

It's frustrating to not know what to do during these times, but one thing that 100% helps is your donation. You will always have our deepest gratitude.

We hope that you and your loved ones are staying healthy and hopeful.

Be strong—together we shall overcome

Dear donor

If you've followed us for a while, you know that we work tirelessly at Land of Hope to promote education. It's our greatest weapon for fighting poverty and superstition. Much of the children's education takes place in our vocational and entrepreneurial building. This is where art class teacher Joeberry recently had 20 of our children in class for the Valentine's art auction. They created such beautiful pieces! The children decide themselves which entrepreneurial classes they want to attend, whether it's sewing, designing clothes, handcrafting, or learning about agriculture  – and some just want to play football :) The important thing is that they find what they're passionate about and learn how to be innovative and solve problems.

We need books
Our vocational and entrepreneurial building also contains our library where the children do homework, study, and read books. With 74 children, we find ourselves in need of more books (history, biology, science, math, literature, novels and much more).

If you want to support Land of Hope with books, we could surely use a donation. Sending books to Land of Hope can be very expensive. Therefore, it's better for us to receive donations and buy books in Nigeria where we can also support the local book shops and the community in general.

Christmas Beach Party
This Christmas, we decided to celebrate at the beach. Saviour, who we rescued in December, had never seen the ocean before. It took a lot of courage for him to approach the water but he took Anja's hand and smiled as the water touched his feet. His transformation has been incredible. He came to Land of Hope after living hell on earth under inhuman, horrible conditions.

It's also been 4 years since we rescued Hope, can you believe it? All odds were against him but he survived and is now a strong, intelligent, and funny boy.

We're all forever grateful for your help.
