Bag of Rice Project #498 -A visit to the Archibong 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 Archibong family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to This donation was made from 9 year old Carter Watkins from his birthday and other money he’s saved, and Cheryl Yoast this is the 498th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Archibong family in Eket, Akwa Ibom state. They reside in Effoi village in Eket. The family was all seated outside when we visited them. They were recommended to us by their village chief who also accompanied us to visit the family. They gave us a warm reception and offered us water to drink. When we told them our purpose for visiting, they were excited and happy. The family is blessed with 3 beautiful kids. They live in a one-bedroom apartment built with mud. The house is on the verge of collapsing and they are trying their best to keep it in good shape.

The Archibong family cooks with firewood and they do that at the back of their house. They said when the rain starts falling they hardly cook because everywhere is always flooded, sometimes they do the cooking inside their house. Mr. Archibong is a mason and he does this to feed the family the wife is unemployed but she said she wants to sell fish but there is no money to start up the business.
