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 Edem family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Marlow Family, this is the 554th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Edem family stays in Afaha village, Akwa Ibom State, which is domiciled in the southern part of Nigeria. The way we met the Edem family was shocking. One of the team members told us the daughter was saying, “I wish this would get to our house.” She met with us and told us the family was in dire need. When we got to the house with the daughter, the mother was shocked to see us, and she gave us a receptive welcome. We told her what we had for her, and she was shocked and dumbfounded. The family is blessed with 6 kids and they stay in a one-room apartment. We were told they rented the house, but they do not own it. She told us she is unable to even build a mud house and that she has been struggling to keep up with the family because she alone takes care.
The family used firewood to cook, as that was the only source of fuel they could afford. They cooked in front of their lodging. The cost of cooking gas is high. They have little alternative but to use firewood for cooking, even though the smoke it produces is unhealthy for the body. Mrs. Edem is unemployed; she only does a menial job and fends for the family; the husband is late; and she is the only one taking care of the children.
As they sang and danced, the family began to pray for the donor and asked God to bless their labor of love. A bag of rice costs more than the Nigerian minimum pay, so they were in shock at what they were seeing. They thanked the donor for supporting them during these trying times.
