In January 2016, an emaciated little boy was found roaming the streets of southern Nigeria. The orphan — naked, riddled with worms and close to death — had been abandoned by his family, who believed he was a witch, and had been living on food scraps for eight months. His rescuer, aid workerAnja Ringgren Loven, shared a heartbreaking photo on Facebook of him sipping from a bottle of water — and the post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and comments. Within two days, Loven’s organization, African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation, received more than $150,000 in donations for his care.
