Support the children 
Save lives 
Wear your support The Education Pack gives children superpowers
At Land of Hope, we believe that education is the strongest weapon against superstition.
Every year, 15,000 children in Nigeria are accused of witchcraft. They are rejected by their families, persecuted and subjected to violence. Land of Hope rescues these children, but our mission is about more than keeping them alive. We want them to have the opportunity to build a good life for themselves. That is why every child at Land of Hope goes to school.
Whenever possible, we make sure they attend local schools so they can grow up alongside other children in their communities. This is an important part of fighting superstition. When villages see these children grow into successful students, university graduates and role models, they become living proof that they were never witches.
The Education Pack helps Land of Hope cover school fees, books, uniforms, examination costs, accommodation, meals and other essential expenses so the children can complete their education.
Today, all 95 children at Land of Hope attend school. Several of the older children have already started university.
From accused witch to university student
Across Nigeria, future nurses, engineers, public servants and scientists are sitting in university classrooms. Some of them come from Land of Hope.
Grace was only 8 years old when she was locked up, tortured and accused of witchcraft by her uncle. Today, she has achieved her dream and been accepted into the College of Nursing Sciences. Nigeria’s future nurse.
Victory was found on the street in such critical condition that we thought he was dead. He could not breathe on his own and spent six months in hospital. Today, he plays football with the other children and is preparing to study Food Science and Technology.
Deborah was abandoned on the street and lived in constant fear for her life. When she arrived at Land of Hope, she promised herself she would not disappoint the people who believed in her. Today, she is a talented artist and will study Public Administration at university.
Anefiok lost both his mother and younger brother after the family was driven out of their village because of witchcraft accusations. Today, he has passed his entrance exams and is preparing to study Electrical Engineering.
Their stories are different, but the outcome is the same.
They were once rejected by society. Today, they are part of Nigeria’s future.
When a child gains access to education, it changes more than one life. Education breaks the cycle of poverty, fear and superstition – and gives children the superpowers they need to build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.
