Support the children 
Save lives 
Wear your support This painting is created by Evelyn, who was rescued in 2017 together with her little brother Abraham, who was only 4 years old.
It was a warm Sunday. Evelyn and Abraham’s mother was preparing to go to church, but first she had to fetch water. Fetching water is mainly considered a job for women and children. Evelyn went with her mother to assist her.
They used the water to cook a small breakfast and take a bath before going to church.
During the service, the pastor performed a demonic deliverance and out of the blue, he accused Evelyn and Abraham to be possessed by evil spirits.
Evelyn and Abraham´s mother was shocked, and the pastor said that her children could no longer live in her house, otherwise she and her husband would be exposed to the demons. Some of the villagers even discussed the possibility of killing Evelyn and Abraham, before they eventually were outcasted for the entire community.
Since we rescued Evelyn and Abraham, we have done a lot of reunification work in that community and today, we have reached the point where Evelyn and Abraham can spend school holidays with their mother. The love between them is very strong.
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.
