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 Udotim family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to Kaitlyn Tanner, Little Lamb Vintage, and this is the 590th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Udotim family was recommended to us by a friend. When we got to the compound, we did not find anyone outside; we had to call the traditional way by saying, “WHO IS HERE?”. When we did that, Mr. Udotim came out and apologized. He said they were in the backyard; we told him it was fine. He gave us a receptive welcome and asked us what our mission was. We told him what brought us to his compound; he was so happy and he rushed to the backyard to inform his wife. When she heard that someone donated a bag of rice to them, she was so happy and danced around the compound. The Udotim family lives in an uncompleted apartment. They said they had nowhere to stay and someone gave them the apartment to stay in for a while until they get somewhere to stay. The house has no windows and they are exposed to harm easily because the house is not protected; the house has no doors and they can be harmed easily. They practice open defecation because they do not have a toilet in the house, there is no electricity, and there is no clean water in the house. The family is blessed with 5 kids but because of their financial status, they are unable to enrol the children in school.
The Udotim family cooks at the back of their house; they make use of firewood in cooking. They are unable to get cooking gas because of the cost of gas; it is harmful to health to use firewood for cooking because of the smoke it emits. Mr. and Mrs. Udotim are unemployed and they engage in menial jobs to feed the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Udotim were so happy someone gave them a bag of rice; they are happy they now have something to eat. They prayed that the donor will never lack and the lord will always be there for them whenever they call on him. The family waved and continued praying as we left.
