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 Nwadibia family, their bag of rice was donated thanks to Lynn palmer Family this is the 368th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met this wonderful family in Aba, Nigeria. They were recommended to us by their church leader who also assisted us in locating their house. Mrs Nwadibia is a widow and she has 3 kids and they live in a rented one bedroom apartment with no plumbing or electricity. Ever since her husband died it has been difficult for Mrs Nwadibia to make ends meet as she has had to send her children out to live with some of her relatives. Not able to provide them a daily meal or their basic needs.

Mrs Nwadiabia only lives with one of her kid who was at school when we visited. Mrs Nwadibia is a trader and she sells cassava at the market near her house. The Nwadibias cook using firewood and a clay stand to support her pots and kettles.

Her kitchen

Mrs Nwadibia was so happy to meet us. She told us that she had planned to spend the christmas alone but now that she has a bag of Rice she can now ask her kids to come back and spend it with her. She even called one of her kids out of happiness as we were still with her with tears she told them they would get to come home for Christmas. She thanked those who donated to her family and prayed that God will keep blessing and rewarding them.
