Two years ago, iCare donated a Massey Ferguson tractor to help Nigerian widows and their families lead more independent lives. Former bicycle mechanic, Michael Reade, 57, travelled to Nigeria in July 2015 to ensure the delivery of the tractor, along with a container of donated goods including kitchenware, bed linen and children's games. Michael, who has been volunteering in the city of Ilesa in Nigeria for seven years, has also set up a charity, the Patsy Furlong Foundation, which supports several families by providing housing, food and education. And recently, iCare were sent a very important photo, of the very same tractor being used by Nigerian women and their families!
