A SMALL ACT OF GENEROSITY CHANGES A LIFE FOREVER
Our Mission
To uplift families in need by providing essential clothing while nurturing a spirit of community and compassion.
The Reality
Many families face challenges in accessing proper clothing for themselves and their loved ones. Whether for everyday wear or special occasions, the lack of appropriate attire can impact dignity and well-being.
Our Goal
We aim to serve at least 100 families within the local community of Douala, Cameroon, through our biannual clothing drives. By offering high-quality, cleaned, and pressed clothing, we help families meet their immediate needs while promoting sustainability and empowerment.
How You Can Help
With your generosity, we can reach more families and make a lasting impact. Every donation—whether of clothing, household items, or your time—helps us bring smiles and hope to those who need it most.
Together, we can ensure every family walks away not only with essentials but also with dignity and joy.
The 44.5 Foundation proudly organizes a biannual clothing drive at the Bonaberi Central Mosque, which has become a cornerstone of our efforts in the Douala, Cameroon community. This initiative not only provides essential clothing but also fosters hope, dignity, and a sense of belonging among those we serve.
At each event, beneficiaries have the opportunity to select from a variety of cleaned and carefully pressed clothing, ensuring options that suit every family member. Over the years, this highly anticipated event—lasting 2 to 3 hours—has allowed us to support more than 100 families with high-quality clothing and household items.
Why Our Clothing Drive Matters
- Meeting Basic Needs: Many families face significant challenges in accessing affordable clothing. This drive provides immediate relief and ensures they have what they need.
- Promoting Sustainability: By redistributing quality pre-loved clothing, we contribute to environmental conservation and reduce waste.
- Empowering Through Choice: Allowing families to choose their items ensures they leave with clothing that fits their needs and preferences, promoting dignity and respect.
- Building Community: These drives bring people together, fostering a spirit of unity and mutual support.
- Inspiring Generosity: Donors and volunteers find joy and purpose in knowing their contributions directly impact lives.
Our team works tirelessly to create a safe, welcoming environment for all attendees. The smiles on families’ faces as they leave with their selected items are a testament to the lasting impact of this initiative. The excellent quality of the clothing ensures that the support extends well beyond the event.
We also recognize the invaluable contributions of our donors, whose generosity makes it all possible. Our volunteers take time to pray for them, offering heartfelt thanks for the precious gifts that transform lives within our community.
Together, we are building a better future—one clothing drive at a time.
