This painting is created by John, who was rescued by Land of Hope 8 years ago.

It was a very hot day in the middle of the drought season. David and Anja were looking for 3 boys who had been accused of being witches. They had been abandoned by their families and outcasted from the village they were born in – one of them was John.

Anja found John hiding in a bush. He was with David, who was the other boy, and the third boy, Gideon, had been hiding in an abandoned building. John and David had both been severely beaten and slashed with knives all over their bodies. They hid in the bush because they knew the villagers were looking for them and wanted to kill them.

That day, all 3 boys were brought to safety at Land of Hope.

Today, John is the sweetest boy, who feels great empathy for other people and has the most beautiful smile. He has also become a strong and sporty boy who loves to play soccer all day long.

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.
