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 Ime family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Marlow Family, and this is the 542nd bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
In Akwa Ibom, Uyo Village, we got to know the Ime family. We were referred to the family by a friend. The family heard about her story; she lives in a one-room apartment. She was terrified when she saw us enter the compound, but as soon as we explained what we could do for her, her first concern was what political party we were affiliated with. When we gave them an explanation of who we were, she was surprised and still had doubts about us giving them a whole bag of rice. Considering that she is old, she was shocked that such things still happen because of how the economy of the country is. Mrs. Ime has sight issues and hardly sees. The only daughter she had died of kidney complications, and the husband she married beat the lady every day until the day she gave up the ghost, and the man ran away. The old woman has been staying alone since she lost her daughter.
The Ime family dedicates a room to cooking; she is unable to afford a gas cooker considering the price at which a gas cooker is sold, and they also won’t be able to maintain it because the amount involved in filling a gas cooker is expensive. That is why they opt to use a stove, which is cheap. Mrs. Ime told us she does not do anything because she is old and her daughter, who takes care of her, passed away due to domestic abuse by her husband.
Mrs. Ime thanked the benefactor and prayed to God to protect them from embarrassment, sickness and to bless their labours. When we initially met her, she was unhappy because she didn’t have any food and very hungry. As we were about to leave, Mama started shedding tears of joy, praising the Lord and prayed as we left.
