Bag of Rice Project #444 -A visit to the Etim 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 Etim family, their bag of rice was donated thanks to Shirley Taylor this is the 444th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Etim family in Uyo, Nigeria. They were recommended to us by another family that we visited around the same area. They stay in the outskirts of Uyo and it took some extended directions to make it to their house. They were so happy to meet us and welcomed us without hesitation. They live in a one bedroom apartment and have 6 kids.

The Etim family cooks at the back of their house, they made use of firewood which is the cheapest method of cooking in Nigeria now. They moved the kitchen close to their house, because it’s raining season they did this so as to prevent the rain from disrupting them when they are cooking. Mr. Etim is a former truck driver, he did this to sustain the family. He is currently unemployed, he engages in menial jobs to sustain the family. Mrs. Aniebiet Etim is unemployed and lack the fund for a start up.

They were shocked that individuals could donate to complete strangers for nothing at all in return. They were really appreciative to the contributors, they prayed to God for remembering them in this difficult times. When we left they appeared to be happier.
