You definitely remember this touching image that flooded social media last year.

Last year, we told you the story of this 2-year-old boy who was abandoned in Akwa Ibom for being a witch, and Anja Ringgren Loven, the woman who saved and nurtured him back to life.

The little boy was severely malnourished and disoriented when Anja found him and took him in.

Originally from Denmark, Anja sold all she had and moved to Nigeria to start a much-needed charity foundation for Nigerian kids accused of witchcraft – the African Children’s Aid And Development Foundation.

She named him ‘Hope’, and a little over a year later, the little boy’s life has taken an amazing turn for better.

After being accused of witchcraft, this little boy was left to starve in the streets of Nigeria.

In just a year, Anja’s foundation helped turn Hope into a healthy, fun loving child. He even started school recently.

You mean there are still people like Anja in this wicked world?

Unbelievable as it seems, Hope’s case is not unique. There are many cases of kids being killed for being witches and organisations like Anja’s are doing a lot to save them.

But see how Hope, the little fighter, is doing now.

God bless this woman.

When there is life, there is hope!
