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 Bassey family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to TERRY SIMMONS, this is the 538th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Bassey family was recommended to us by a community leader. He told us the road to their house was not motorable, so we had to walk for 20 minutes before getting there. We were okay with the idea. The Bassey family stays in Itu Village, domiciled in Akwa Ibom, in the southern part of Nigeria. When we got to where the family stayed, when they saw us, they were surprised because they had no neighbors living close to them. When we told them what brought us to their family, they were happy, and the children danced around the surroundings. Mr. Bassey has two kids, and they are both not in school because of the condition of the family. School is not something they can afford. The family stays in an open space, and they are exposed to mosquitoes. They don’t have a house to live in; they just constructed a place where they can sleep. They sleep without mosquito nets; there is a dirty stream near the house, and this can make malaria get to them easily; they drink and defecate around the area. The roof of the place they sleep in is leaking, and one part of the roof does not have what is covering it. They told us that when they sleep and rain starts falling at night, they have to stand until the rain stops before they sleep. The local community is contributing towards building them home and we were glad to meet them and play a little part.
Mr. Bassey cooks in the same place they use for sleeping, and they make use of firewood, which they have no other option but to make use of it. Considering the harm it has on children, they are left with no choice but to use firewood to cook. Mr. Bassey told us he is a security man, and he uses that to feed his 2 kids. Mr. Bassey told us he lost his wife to a disease six months ago, so he is raising the boys by himself.
The family was ecstatic, and their spirits were elevated as they gave thanks to God and prayed for the donor. They claimed that God will reward the donor’s work and that everything he touches will thrive. Even though the family was in pain and starving, they were smiling and delighted as we departed.
