How The Starving Nigerian Child Looks Now Is Completely Amazing

No one wants to read a story about a young child nearly losing their life, except when it has an incredibly happy ending like the one I'm about to tell you.

You may remember the story of a two-year-old Nigerian boy who was left for dead in his village because his family thought he was a witch. Yes, you read that correctly. For eight months, the boy roamed the streets of the village on his own, surviving on scraps of food. People visiting the village were shocked to see an emaciated young boy walking around naked with no supervision or care.

Thanks to a Danish woman named Anja Ringgren Loven, this little boy was able to make a full recovery and the new photos are absolutely stunning!

This now-famous photo shocked the world when it was revealed months ago that a two-year-old boy was walking the street starving to death because his parents labeled him a witch.

It's not exactly clear why they made that decision, but it isn't uncommon in parts of Africa for this to occur.The woman in the picture giving him water is Anja Ringgren Lovén, who was so shocked by his condition that she immediately took him in.
