- The 44.5 Foundation monthly food drive was held at the Bonaberi Hausa chief compound. We distributed food to 45 families 5kg bags of rice, 2kg of spaghetti and a liter of cooking oil. All families expressed gratitude for the Foundation’s continued support of needy families in the Bonaberi district of Douala. The monthly food drive for December is a huge booster to many families during the holiday season when food prices are notoriously high. The foundation reached out this month to the physically challenged also to share some holiday cheers.

December 2021Bonaberi, Cameroon44.5 Foundation Christmas Dinner
- The Cameroon Chapter of 44.5 Foundation hosted a Christmas dinner in Bonaberi, Douala to bring together different stakeholders and general members of the public to express our gratitude for an amazing year of activities. We opened with a word of prayer and a word of welcome highlighting 44.5 Foundation and its 2021 events. Dinner included Cameroonian treats including Poulet DG, Suya, fried plantains, and fruit salads. Our guests were treated to popular Christmas carols by the Holy Family Choir while dinner was being served. During dinner, we discussed the details of our monthly food assistance program, which was very appealing to many would-be sponsors who felt such a program has an immediate impact on families in need. Our guests were very impressed with our commitment to serving families and pledged to partner with 44.5 Foundation next year in our Food Drive program.
What Our Families Are Saying
As head of household, I do not have the words to express my family’s gratitude for this gift. My wife and I host all of my siblings and their children during the feast of the ram and you all have made it possible for all to share in this very special meal. Thank you.
We are grateful to Ahmed and the 44.5 Foundation team for their generous gift to our faithful during this season of Eid! May the good Lord reward them abundantly
The choice of sharing rams during the period of Eid-al-Adha was very thoughtful on the part of the people at 44.5 Foundation. Please come back next year and may Allah reward all your efforts.
“I want to thank 44.5 Foundation for the amazing gift of rice, cooking oil and goat meat during this big Sallah. Many of our families will have a festive week thanks to your kind gesture. God bless you all.
I just want to thank 44.5 Foundation for their donations. My wife and I were not sure we’ll have enough for our large family. Your gift is right on time.
Thank you Mr. Ahmed for this initiative. We count on your Foundation to stand with our communities in times of need.
We, the less privileged, are used to people making promises and not keeping them. It’s refreshing to see an NGO that actually keeps to its word of doing a food drive monthly. May Allah bless all your hard work.
Peace of Allah with you. We struggle often to make ends meet so we do not expect much during the festive season. I thank 44.5 Foundation for the blessing of this lamb to our community.
44.5: What are your feelings after this donation?
Answer: May God abundantly bless your efforts
Thank you all so very much. As you all have remembered us little folks, may your accomplishments be rewarded
First, May the peace of God be with you all. I am exceedingly happy just like the others. May this initiative last a long time.
This donation exercise today was completely unexpected. It’s my sister Hadjiya who informed us about it and we all are very glad about these gifts. May God smoothen the path of our benefactors.
My husband has been very sick and I did not know what the kids would have for Christmas dinner. Now I can say we will enjoy rice and stew. You’ve put a smile on our faces. Thank you 44.5 Foundation!
Nobody bothers about ever asking me what my Christmas wishes are. When Miss Zulay came calling about the donation I was not sure what to think. I thank God for the food I’ve received today because they will be front and center for the holidays for my husband and children
I am handicapped and have always struggled to eke out a living. Thoughtless of Christmas dinner. When Mr Ahmed sent word yesterday about the donation, I almost cried because for once someone actually seemed to have looked our way. Merry Christmas to the 44.5 Foundation and God bless. Please keep helping us the physically disabled. Thanks.
I admire the work your NGO has done in such little time. You have given so much to hope for to so many. You all really have an impact in our little community here in Bonaberi. My children now really look forward to the quality rice that you distribute every month. I choke up just thinking what was it like before 44.5 Foundation started it’s acts of goodwill.
My husband is involved in a long legal battle with his former employer so there’s simply no money for the holiday. I thank M. Ahmed and his team for helping our family get over the hump during these trying times. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Thank you 44.5 Foundation for everything you’ve done for us this year. Happy new year
