See Why This Recently Rescued 2-Year-Old Nigerian Boy’s Family Abandoned Him

A 2-year-old Nigerian boy who fell ill was abandoned by his family, claiming he is a witch. He was rescued last month by a Danish charity worker, Anja Ringgren Loven, after feeding off scraps of food from passers-by for eight months.

Loven who is the founder of African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation, has named the boy Hope as he continues on his long journey towards full recovery with daily blood transfusions.

She wrote on her charity’s Facebook page,

“I have chosen to call the boy Hope for right now, we all hope that he survives.

Hope’s condition is stable now. He’s taking food for himself and he responds to the medicine he gets.

Today, he has had powers to sit up and [is] smiling at us. He’s a strong little boy.”
