Support the children 
Save lives 
Wear your support This painting is created by Emmanuel, who was rescued in 2018.
When Emmanuel’s parents died, his uncle accused him of being a witch. He kicked him out of his house, so he had no other choice than to live alone on the streets. When we found him, he was very traumatized and it took a long time for him to find peace again.
The first few days at Land of Hope, he walked around with our Director of Child Development, Nsidibe Orok, in his hand. They just walked quietly, hand in hand, until Emmanuel was ready. Ready to trust adults again.
Today, Emmanuel is a completely changed person. He is the most charming young man with the sweetest and calmest personality. Everyone loves to be around him.
Music and art are his two great passions.
Children’s Art
We use visual arts education as a therapeutic tool to support the children’s mental well-being. Many of them find it difficult to speak openly about their traumatic experiences. Art classes offer a safe and expressive outlet, allowing them to communicate emotions that can be challenging to articulate verbally.
Some children paint scenes related to what they have endured, while others focus on their hopes, dreams, and visions for the future. What they all share is remarkable artistic talent, and many have already won multiple talent competitions in Nigeria.
