Remember this child...?
This boy was abandoned by his family, who accused him of being a witch, according to the aid worker who found him in Uyo, southeast Nigeria.
Charity Worker Anja Ringgren Loven, who works with Danish charity DINNødhjælp, helped a starving Nigerian boy, who she later named Hope, after he was abandoned after being accused of being a witch.
Anja Ringgren Lovén is the founder of African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation, which she created to rescue children labeled as witches.
Heartwarming pictures of her feeding the boy water and wrapping him in a blanket before taking him to hospital were also posted online on Loven’s Facebook account on Jan 31, 2016.

Hope received blood transfusions and medication to remove worms from his stomach.
Anja described him as a “strong little boy”.
Hope has made a remarkable recovery after receiving vital hospital treatment and loving care.
Two months after Anja rescued Hope (pictured), he has reached a healthy weight and can play with other children.
