Save lives 
Wear your support This painting was created by Joy, whom Land of Hope rescued 7 years ago.
It was Joy’s stepfather who accused her of being a witch. She was cast out of her village and ended up living on the streets together with Nsidibe and Ezekiel. All three of them were rescued. We are still trying to locate Joy’s family, but so far we have only found her uncle.
Joy truly is the embodiment of joy. She is always smiling, positive, and ready for a bit of fun and mischief. She loves painting and knitting, and she is incredibly creative and talented when it comes to all kinds of handicrafts.
Whenever Anja is at Land of Hope, Joy loves sitting close to her, cuddling, and showing affection. She is always braiding Anja’s hair and is simply a very loving and caring girl
Children’s Art
We use art education as a therapeutic tool in our work with the children’s mental health and emotional well-being.
For many of the children, talking about their trauma is difficult. Art classes provide a safe space where they can express feelings and experiences that are hard to put into words. Some children paint scenes from their past, while others focus on their dreams and hopes for the future.
What they all have in common is their remarkable talent. Many of the children have won art and talent competitions across Nigeria.
