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 Ufot family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to TERRY SIMMONS , and this is the 598th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.
We met the Ufot family in Mbiaso village when we got to the compound, we saw them sitting outside their house, they greeted us and gave us a receptive welcome. They offered us seats and we refused politely. They asked us what brought us to their compound. We told them that we have a bag of rice for them, they were surprised that we just wanted to give them a bag of rice and not ask for anything in return. They asked us which politician sent us and we told them we were not sent by any politician and that someone donated the bag of rice to them, they were shocked it was not from a politician, they were so happy and they danced round the compound and praised God, they told us they did not have what to cook the next day and they said God sent us to them. The Ufot family lives in a one room apartment and the house is a mud house, the house is on the verge of collapsing because it has outlived its life span. The house lacks the basic amenities, they do not have electricity, they do not have access to clean water, they take their bath outside because they do not have a bathroom. We were told the room of the house leaks and whenever rain falls everything they have inside the house is usually soaked and if the rain falls in the night they will have to stand and find a place the rain does not touch and stand, they have repaired the roof and it still spoils. The family is blessed with 5 kids and they are all out school since the father died.
The Ufot family cooks at the back of their house, they constructed a mini kitchen with wood and a thatch roof. They make use of firewood to cook, it is not advisable to cook with firewood because of how harmful it is to the health, but they are left with no option than to cook with firewood, they are unable to afford cooking gas because of how expensive it is. Mrs. Ufot is a widow and she cooks palm fruit to be able to fend for the family.
The family were so happy someone gave them a bag of rice; they are happy they now have something to eat. They prayed that the donor will never lack and the lord will always be there for them whenever they call on him. The family waved and continued praying as we left.
