Learn how you can be apart of helping people who are in need with our Chicken Orphanage Project or our A Thrifty Mom Bag of Rice Project . 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 also met a young man named Isaac, smart and hard working but could not find employment. After talking a bit we found he had built a chicken coop and wanted to farm chickens. We asked him if he would raise chickens for us that would then be donated to feed children in local orphanages. The only food or supplies they get are what are donated, so they often go without any source of protein. We would like to invite you to help meet one of those basic needs, by providing Nigerian families with rice or chickens. 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. Chickens are only available to purchase as once they are big enough to butcher, so if you see they are out of stock he is in the process or growing another flock. That is why we started the Orphanage donations so we can still help feed the orphans even if chickens are not yet ready. These donations go to purchase food, diapers, wipes, clothes and medications.

Our recent visit to Queen Esther’s Orphanage Home was filled with joy, gratitude, and deep emotion. As soon as we arrived, the children rushed out to welcome us with bright smiles and open arms. They shared that they had been praying and hoping for our visit, and their excitement reminded us just how meaningful these moments are to them. I gently explained to them that things haven’t been so easy lately, but by God’s grace, we were still able to come.
We brought along baby supplies to support the orphanage, and after making the donations, we spent some time with the children taking pictures together, which, as always, is such an important part of our visits. These snapshots are more than just images; they are lasting memories and a symbol of love, hope, and connection. The joy in their faces was a beautiful reminder that even small acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact.
Before our departure, we gathered with the children and nursing mothers and humbly asked for their prayers—not only for us but all those who continue to give generously through them. We asked God to bless them richly, especially as times are getting tougher each day. We also prayed that they would continue to be used as vessels of blessing, sending us out again in the future with even more gifts and support for these precious children. The children held our hands and prayed sincerely before we left, and we walked away with full hearts and renewed hope.
