Bag of Rice Project #491 -A visit to the Akawo 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 Akawo family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Watkins Family, and this is the 491st bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

The Akawo Family was recommended to us by the Daniel family. When we got there, they gave us a warm reception. The family is blessed with seven kids and they live in a mud house that is already cracking. When we told them what we have for them, they didn’t believe us until they saw it, this was like a surprise to the family. They asked us if we were sent by politicians and we told them someone donated it to them. The family was very happy.

The family cooks with firewood because that’s the cheapest fuel they can afford. They are unable to get cooking gas. When we visited the husband was not around, she told us the Husband is unemployed and she makes a local delicacy called Akamu (pap) to cater to the family.

They were happy when we left, their mood changed from bad to good and they were all excited. They prayed for the donor and commanded heaven’s blessings to follow the donor and his family.
