Support the children 
Save lives 
Wear your support This painting is created by Joy, who was rescued in 2018.
It was Joy’s stepfather who accused her of being a witch. She had no other choice but to leave the village, where she had lived her whole life. The community did not want to have anything to do with her.
She was living on the street with Nsidibe and Ezekiel, when Land of Hope was alerted about their cases. All 3 of them were rescued. We are still trying to locate Joy’s family but so far, we have only found her uncle.
Joy is truly the epitome of joy. She is always smiling and positive. She loves to paint and knit, and she is very creative and skilled in all kinds of needlework. When Anja is at Land of Hope, Joy wants to sit close to her and hug and cuddle. She always braids Anja’s hair and is just a really loving girl.
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.
