This painting was created by Mary, whom Land of Hope rescued 7 years ago.
As a child, Mary was accused of being a witch and forced to survive on her own. During the day, she searched for food. At night, she hid in the bush, afraid for her life.
Years earlier, Mary had witnessed Anja rescue a boy from her village who had also been accused of witchcraft. The memory stayed with her. While living on the streets, Mary often dreamed that Anja would one day come back for her too.
And one day, she did.
Today, Mary lives at Land of Hope, where she has found safety, love, and the freedom to explore her creativity. She loves painting, singing, and expressing herself through art. Despite living with epilepsy, she faces life with remarkable strength, determination, and joy.
Through her artwork, Mary shares a part of who she is. When you purchase this painting, you are not only supporting Land of Hope—you are celebrating the talent, resilience, and dreams of a young woman who never gave up hope ❤️
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.
