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 Sunday family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Marlow family, and this is the 561st bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Sunday family live in Mbiaobong Itam a village in the southern part of Nigeria. When we drove into the compound we heard noise in the backyard of the house so we had to draw their attention and they came to meet us, they gave us a receptive welcome and we told them why we came to their compound. They were excited and shouted for joy they didn’t believe their eyes and they thought it was a prank, they did not believe that someone they didn’t know would donate a full bag of rice to them. The family live in a one-room apartment, the house is built with mud which is on the verge of collapsing the house lacks basic amenities they don’t have light and they defecate in the bush. The family is blessed with 5 kids.
The Sunday family cooks with firewood. The use of firewood for cooking is not a sanitary practice since it exposes users to smoke, which shortens their life expectancy and harms their bodies. To get firewood for cooking, the Bassey treks to the bush. Mr Sunday is unemployed at the moment, he just lost his job recently and his wife sells pure water to fend for the family.
In addition to thanking the donor, the family prayed to God to bless their labours and keep them from people who would steal their joy. The family was thankful but also upset because they didn’t have any food when we first met them. They prayed and waved as we drove away.
