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 Abasi family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to an anonymous donation, this is the 556th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
The Abasi family was introduced to us by a friend. We met them in Mbiaobong Itam a village domiciled in Nigeria. When we got to the compound, we saw the children outside playing. As we drove into the compound they stopped playing and gave us a receptive welcome and they went in to call their parents. When the parents came out they welcomed us and offered us sit but we told them we were here to give them a bag of rice, they were shocked. they asked us if it was sponsored by the government and we told them it was donated to them by someone, they were shocked that someone who did not know them can give them a bag of rice. According to them, the price of a bag of rice is more than the minimum wage. The family is blessed with 6 kids and they are out of school because they don’t have money to send them to school. The family was happy to hear we would give them a bag of rice, the family stay in a one-room apartment and the landlord was about to evict them because they couldn’t afford to pay rent again.
The Abasi family can’t afford cooking gas and they are left with no other choice than to use firewood, using firewood to cook is not good for their health because of the smoke inhaled in the process of cooking. Mr. Abasi is unemployed he said he was a security man before he was sacked because the school was robbed when he was on duty and they dismissed all security men on duty that day, since then he has been unable to get a job. The wife Mrs. Mfon is unemployed and she said she is interested in selling fish in the local market but she does not have the capital to start the trade.
The fact that a stranger could give them a bag of rice without even knowing their name made the family happy. They prayed for God to keep watching over, guiding, and providing for them when they needed it most, and they commanded the sky to honour the one who gave. The family seemed happy and excited as we drove away. As we went past their house, they waved.
