This is the story of Anja Ringgren Løven and a boy named Hope. 2006: Anja, a Danish aid worker, found Hope in Nigeria. He was 2 years old, severely malnourished, and had been abandoned by his family after being accused of witchcraft - a tragic but real practice in some parts of Nigeria. She gave him water right there on the dirt road. 2013: After Anja rescued him and got him medical care, Hope recovered. She founded the African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) and built a children’s center. Hope was adopted into her care and is pictured here healthy and smiling in a Manchester United tracksuit. 2025: Hope graduated. He’s now a young man in cap and gown, standing next to Anja. It’s a powerful example of what can happen when someone intervenes early. Anja’s organization has since rescued hundreds of children accused of witchcraft and provides them with medical care, education, and a safe home. The story is touching !
