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 Pepple family, their bag of rice was donated thanks to Shari Meyer this is the 381st bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Pepple family was a special family for us to visit during this period of recession. They were really going through a critical condition. We met this wonderful family in a village called Umuola outside Aba, Abia state. They live in a bungalow very desolate surrounded with buckets filled with water for household purposes and by the side of the building were shrubbery plants. We were received in the porch outside their building by Mrs Gift Pepple. Mrs Gift is a widow her husband passed away many years ago leaving her with two children to look after. She is currently unemployed. Mrs Gift two kids goes to pick up scraps and remains of old products for recycling and after that they put them on sale. This family go through a lot of hardship and destitution just to survive.

Here is their kitchen constructed with bamboo sticks and roofed with rough zinc. Mrs Gift cooks with firewood which is the cheapest means of fuel one can find in Nigeria. Mrs gift is assisted in the kitchen by her children due to the fact that she is not physically strong enough to run around with work and chores. Here is their privy area which is patched with zincs and old dirty rags. There is a constructed of a narrow drainage where the water can pass out the back, through to the open gutter. This environment is not user friendly, the water they use is untreated and can cause lots of damages.

We were very happy to meet the Mrs Pepple and her ward bishop told me about her condition and what they do to survive and I coudn’t wait to see them. Her kids were already out of the house looking for items to recycle when we arrived despite how early we came. They were grateful for the bag of rice and Mrs Pepple thanked those who donated it for them and prayed that God will reward them immensely.
