Support the children 
Save lives 
Wear your support This painting is created by Imaobong, who was rescued in 2017.
”They accused me of killing my father and called me a witch.
They would beat me every day. They did not give me food.
My mother and others from the village used an iron to burn me.”
Imaobong was only 6 years old when we rescued her. A terrified little girl with many scars. Not only on her soul, but on her entire body from abuse and torture. She was in so much pain and very traumatized.
Over the years, we have witnessed Imaobong overcome her struggles and fears. She is extremely hardworking, excelling in both school and art. Anja always tells her, that she admires her strength and resilience.
Very soon, Imaobong is ready to start university. When she looks at her scars, she sometimes cries because she is reminded of her brutal past. But she also tells us, that the scars show her that she made it through the darkness. And there is a lot of power in that.
Children’s art
Art plays an important role in the children’s development and healing process, as it enables them to express past traumas, while also giving room for creative expressions of ideas and dreams for the present and future.
As one of our children (Joy) once told Anja in art class: ”I feel free when I paint”.
When you purchase a painting created by the children at Land of Hope, you give them a voice in the world that once rejected them. Your support not only heals their wounds, but it also gives them a feeling of being worthy and loved.
All the money from the sale of the children’s art goes entirely to Land of Hope.
