A minor boy who was found abandoned on the streets of Nigeria in Africa for "being a witch" has now undergone complete transformation in the last four years. A photo of the boy, now named Hope, taken in January 2016 had gone viral on social media. The photo showed charity worker Anja Ringgren Lovén kneeling down to give water to the severely malnourished toddler.

The boy has now transformed completely and is living a healthy life. Although his exact age is unknown, doctors believe that he's around six or seven years old. This means that he was as young as three when he was found in early 2016.

"Hope was in a terrible condition when we rescued him. He was seriously malnourished and had multiple diseases and the first two weeks he was hospitalised he was in a critical condition. We didn't know if he would survive or not," Anja, founder of non-profit organisation Land of Hope, was quoted as saying by LADbible.
