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 the orphanage home was a deeply touching and fulfilling experience. As soon as we arrived, the children spotted us from a distance and immediately ran toward us with excitement and joy. They jumped up, hugged us tightly, and cheerfully said they had been expecting us for a while. Their warm welcome and eager faces reminded us of the impact even the simplest acts of kindness can have and it was clear that our presence meant a lot to them, and we felt truly welcomed.
We came bearing baby supplies and other essentials, which we donated to support the growing needs of the home. The moment of giving was truly special, and we were happy to share a few smiles and laughter with the kids. Taking pictures together—a moment that was not only joyful but also important to capture the love and connection shared that day. Their laughter and happiness reminded us why we do what we do. These small moments leave lasting impressions was also an evident that the children cherished every second we spent with them and continue to inspire us to give and serve even more.
Before leaving, we gathered the children and humbly asked for their prayers—not just for us, but also for Mr. and Mrs. Sarah Barrand, Melissa Rae, and Kaitlyn Tanner Little Lamb Vintage. Who have been pillars of support in making this visit possible and all those who consistently donate through them. With the challenges of each passing day, we prayed that the Lord would open more doors of blessings for them and keep using them to bless others like they always do. We also asked that the Lord make it possible for us to return with even more gifts and support. The children and nursing mothers graciously prayed for us, and we left filled with gratitude, love, and a renewed sense of purpose, trusting that this is just the beginning of many more visits to come.
