Bag of Rice Project #487 -A visit to the Dan family

Learn how you can be apart of helping people who are in need with our A Thrifty Mom Bag of Rice Campaign. In 2016 we started helping a young man named Ikechukwu from Nigeria. Summer of 2019 we were able to visit his family in Aba, Nigeria. While there we saw widespread poverty and lack of basic needs. We would like to invite you to help meet one of those basic needs, by providing Nigerian families with rice. This gift will feed a large family for a few months, or a single person a year. It also reminds them they are loved, and brings most of them to tears… as a full bag of rice is one of the most generous gifts they will ever receive. You can also read about other families we have been able to bless here.

The following story is about the Dan family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Watkins Family, and this is the 487th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Dan Family in Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state Nigeria.  When we drove into the compound we only saw the children outside the compound. They greeted us and called out their mother, their father was not around when we visited. The Dan Family lives in a one-bedroom apartment, which is built with blocks but not yet cemented, it is still under construction. The family is blessed with seven kids, and when we told them what we have for them they were happy and overjoyed.

The Dan Family cooks at the back of their house. They constructed a kitchen and that’s where the cooking is done. The family is unable to afford cooking gas that will ease the stress of cooking, so they resorted to firewood which is the cheapest form of cooking they can afford. The wife told us the Husband is unemployed and she sells pap around the village every morning to fend for the family.

Their kitchen

The family were happy and the kids prayed for the donor, they prayed for God’s blessings and favor to always be with the donor. They were happy and we waved to them as we left.
