Anja Ringgren Lovén grew up in Frederikshavn in the northern part of Denmark. Until 2011, she lived a traditional and secure life working as a store manager. Everything changed after travelling to Africa and witnessing the extreme poverty and heartbreaking conditions many children were forced to live under.
The experience became a turning point. Anja made the life-changing decision to leave behind her familiar life in Denmark and dedicate herself entirely to helping vulnerable children in Africa. It was an unconventional path that demanded enormous personal sacrifices, but one she has never regretted.
Today, her story stands as a powerful example of what can happen when conviction becomes action.
In 2012, Anja Ringgren Lovén founded the nonprofit organisation Land Of Hope. The organisation works to rescue and protect children accused of witchcraft — often referred to as “witch children”.
In several communities affected by deep-rooted superstition and lack of education, children are blamed when families experience tragedy such as illness, death, infertility, failed harvests, or unemployment. The children are labelled as witches and may face abandonment, violence, torture, or even death.
Through Land Of Hope, Anja and her team have created a safe home for vulnerable children who otherwise had nowhere to turn. The children receive protection, food, medical care, education, and the opportunity to grow up in a safe and loving environment.
Her work has received international attention and touched millions of people around the world.
