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 Sampson family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to TERRY SIMMONS, and this is the 548th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
We met the Sampson family in Afaha village in Akwa Ibom State, domiciled in the southern part of Nigeria. When we got to the compound, the family was all seated outside. When they saw us, they stood up and gave us a receptive welcome. They asked us if they could help us locate who we were looking for, and we told them we came to visit their family. They asked us what we wanted to ask them. We told them that we had a bag of rice to give them. They spoke in their local dialect and said, mbre ado ami- this is play. They did not believe it, considering that the amount a bag of rice goes for is more than the minimum wage in the country. The family lives in a one room apartment that is built with mud. The house is an old one, which is not up to standard and can collapse at any time. They said that when it rains, the rooms are always flooded because the roof is leaking. The family is blessed with eight kids; when we visited, only one was around.
The Sampson family cooks with firewood; they told us they would have loved to use gas in cooking, but due to the price of getting cooking gas, they are unable to get one. The family makes use of firewood to cook, and they go to the bush to fetch this wood. Cooking with firewood is harmful and dangerous to the health. Mrs. Sampson is a widow, and she sells akara (bean cake) to fend for the family. This has been what she has been doing to take care of the family.
The family were excited as we gave them the bag of rice, they prayed for the donor and aid God will bless the work of their hand and increase them on every side. The family continued praying as we left, they waved at us and beamed a smile.
