A tortured boy, found on the streets naked, alone, and traumatized, has undergone a radical transformation since being taken into the care of a Nigerian NGO. His story exemplifies the NGO’s mission of eradicating child abuse and finding a safe space for every child to thrive.
On the morning of Nov. 29, 2020, Land of Hope founder Anja Ringgren Lovén woke up to a piece of distressing news. She had been tagged in a video on Facebook depicting an emaciated, naked boy roaming the streets of Uyo in Nigeria’s Akwa Ibom State.
