Today, in honor of Mother’s Day, and all the sacrifices moms make, we want to tell Rose’s story.
Rose is a precious mama with four beautiful babies. Rose and her husband are
both blind and live with their children in a rural village in southern Malawi.
It is difficult for the blind to access education, find employment, and be accepted by society in Malawi. Rose and her husband, Jafeti are among approximately 136,000 blind people in Malawi, 80% of whom suffered from cataracts or glaucoma and would have sight today had they received adequate health care.
Rose had the opportunity as a child to attend a school for the blind and her success qualified her for secondary school. Unfortunately she was unable to complete due to a shortage of school fees. Begging from village to village has become normal practice for Rose. She admits it is a hard life, but she has no alternative – she must find food for her children.
Rose has connected with our partners in Malawi, Iris Africa. Her family now receives food assistance. Since receiving the food, Rose has said she feels great relief. It means that Rose can stay home with her children, encouraging them to concentrate on their education. She has hope for their future.
Thank you. Because of your giving, the burdens of mamas, grandmas, aunts, sisters, all over the world are being eased. Being a mother is a difficult job in the best of circumstances. We want to come alongside mamas who are not in the best of circumstances and lift them up. Can you imagine the soul crushing reality of not having enough food for your babies? Help us bring hope this Mother’s Day.
Rose prepared a thank you letter in Braille, you can read it, along with more of her story, here.

Feeding The Nations recently sent a container of fortified rice meals to Nicaragua. The container was distributed between 31 schools in a joint effort with the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education. When children returned from break they were assured of a daily hot, nutritious meal, which of course helps learning.
Rice meals were also given to the Nicaraguan Christian School. The school has over 500 students and they work actively with the families of the students, helping those who need it with food assistance.
Children who otherwise would go hungry are being fed because of your generosity! Thank you for showing compassion and the love of Jesus to people around the world. If you would like to be a part of ongoing missions, consider becoming a monthly partner with us.

This is what is happening in Venezuela right now.
Supernaturally, Feeding The Nations was able to send food to Venezuela that cleared customs and was distributed just 3 weeks ago. The food was received with great joy and had an immediate impact. Here is what our contact, Pastor “C” said after receiving the food: “Good morning and full blessings! We are super happy we have the food donated by you. We will proceed to deliver the aid to the different churches of Maracaibo. God has prepared us for this difficult time.”
Since that time, the overall conditions in Venezuela have significantly worsened. In an email sent just yesterday, Pastor “C” said, “We have gone more than 4 days without electric power and 95% of the country is without electric power. The meals you sent have helped us a lot. We are feeding the elderly and children along with many who are dying in the hospitals. (Last) Thursday alone 400 died in and around Maracaibo Hospital. It is very difficult to get water, ice, food and gasoline. Brother, we urgently need more food as the need is very great. We also need any kind of humanitarian aid and medicines. We need urgent help.”
