Bag of Rice Project #521 -A visit to the Udoh 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 Udoh family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to Claire Thayn, and this is the 521st bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

The Udoh family resides in Ekpene Obo a village domiciled in the Southern part of Nigeria. The Udoh family was recommended to us by a friend. When we visited the family they were all seated outside their compound. They gave us a receptive welcome and we told them what brought us to the house. They were happy when they heard they will be gifted a bag of rice. They asked if it was given by a government official and we told them it was donated to them by someone. They were happy. The family stays in a one-bedroom apartment, which is built with blocks but not completed, the house is not yet cemented and the zinc of the house is not in good condition. The family is blessed with 6 kids.

The Udoh family cooks at the back of their house and they make use of firewood for cooking, they are unable to afford cooking gas due to the amount which one cooking gas goes for. Though cooking with firewood Is harmful to the health they are left with no choice but to use it. Mr. Udoh drives a bike to fend for the family and the wife is unemployed, she said she would love to learn hairdressing but she is unable to pay for the skill she wants to learn.

The family was happy and they prayed for the donor they said God will protect them, guide them in all they do and be with them at all times, also they said God will provide for their needs whenever they call on him. The family smiled as we left and the children were happy and danced around the compound.
