Bag of Rice Project #445 -A visit to the Asuquo 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 Asuquo family, their bag of rice was donated thanks to Emily Long and an anonymous donor this is the 445th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Asuquo family in Uyo, Nigeria. They are neighbours to the Effiong family. The Asuquos family live in one bedroom apartment constructed with zinc. The Asuquos have 5 kids, the wife wasn’t around when we visited, she was in the church. The family were happy when they heard about the gift we brought for them and the children were all excited.

The Asuquo family constructed their kitchen with zinc and they could only afford firewood for cooking. The kitchen lacks the basic amenities a kitchen should have. Mr. Asuquo and his wife Njoku Okon are traders. They sell in the market to take care of the family. The children were excited and happy when they saw the bag of rice.

The rice initiative has helped out a lot of families. They were shocked how a bag of rice can be given to them freely without no conditionality attached to it. They thanked the donor who made it possible for them to receive a bag of rice, as the economy of Nigeria is experiencing inflation everyday. They prayed for the donor and commanded God’s blessing on them.
