About Land of Hope
Land of Hope is a non-profit organization that works independently of political, religious, and economic interests. We run West Africa’s largest Children’s Center in the Nigerian state of Akwa Ibom. Here, 93 children live, after having been accused of witchcraft and made scapegoats for difficult living conditions of adults. We advocate for these children’s rights.
A world where no child suffers due to adults' superstitions
All children have inviolable rights. To succeed in making a sustainable difference in the world, we must change the ingrained beliefs of superstitious communities that lead to witchcraft accusations against children.
We save innocent children from exclusion, torture and death
With care, protection, and education of the children and their surrounding communities, we lay the foundation for a future where children can grow up to be independent, active, and social individuals contributing to the development of their community.
We are patiently taking small steps everyday towards a safer and more promising future for children
