Bag of Rice Project #492 -A visit to the Ette Ette 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 Ette Ette family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Watkins Family, and this is the 492nd bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Ette Ette Family in Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. When we drove in we met the family in front of their house. They received us happily. The family is blessed with 5 kids. They live in a one-bedroom apartment that is still under construction. When we told them what we brought for them, the family was happy and asked us who sent us, we told them someone donated it to them. They didn’t believe what they heard.

The family cooks with firewood which is the cheapest means of fuel they can get, they are unable to buy cooking gas considering the amount it is sold in the market. The husband sells palm wine to fend for the family and the wife is unemployed.

Their kitchen

They were happy they received such a donation. All they could do was pray for the donor and they said God should bless the work of their hands. They were so excited and they sing and dance as we left.
