You want to help. Here's what's probably holding you back.
These thoughts are human — they protect you, but they also hold you back. The Circle of 5 exists for one reason: to turn intention into action. $5, today, is enough.
- 01
“My small donation won't change anything.”
- 02
“I'll give when I have more.”
- 03
“I don't even know where to start.”
A one-time contribution is a gesture. The Circle of 5 is an identity: someone who chose not to look away, month after month.
Every member contributes the same amount — $5. No one is above, no one is below. Together, you become a steady, predictable force that can plan for the future on the ground.
This isn't charity waiting for you. It's a community of ordinary people doing something extraordinary, one coffee at a time — and seeing, month after month, exactly what their dollars accomplish on the ground.

Every month, something moves
$5
per month
About 3 small meals
In Yaoundé, $5 is on the order of about 3 small street meals (baguette, skewers, beignets… at ~1,000 XAF). Less than a coffee where you are — and meaningful on the ground.
$60
per year
A year of difference
A full school kit, several weeks of academic support, or vital support for a family in need.
100%
to Cameroon
Zero detours
100% of donations received are allocated to projects carried out in Cameroon. Only payment fees (Stripe) and bank charges are deducted by providers.: schooling, food aid, women's empowerment.

I'm launching the Circle of 5 with AWAKEN DESTINY — a Belgian foundation that funds and supports projects carried out in Yaoundé by its partner association (education, food aid, women's empowerment). The idea: 5 people × $5/month = $25 recurring, traceable, with a quarterly field report.

I couldn't give $500. But $5 a month was no problem for me. I know others are doing the same, and it makes me feel part of something real over the long term. It's a joy to see that my small contribution — the price of a coffee — added to others' can change lives.
Nothing to hide, everything to prove
Is it really no commitment?
Yes. You can cancel at any time from the link sent by email after signing up, via Stripe's secure portal.
Where exactly does my $5 go?
100% of donations received are allocated to projects carried out in Cameroon. Only payment fees (Stripe) and bank charges are deducted by providers; the foundation takes no operating fee, its administrative costs being borne by the founders. (Homework School, sewing workshop, food aid, and more).
Why only $5?
Because impact comes mainly from consistency — and because on the ground, $5 is on the order of about 3 small meals in Yaoundé. Hundreds of members at $5 are worth more than a forgotten one-time contribution.
Do I have to invite friends?
No. Joining the Circle of 5 is €5/month — and that is enough. Inviting people you know or opening your own page happens after you sign up, if you wish.
Will I be updated on my impact?
Yes. Circle members receive regular updates on project progress — stories, milestones, and concrete results in Cameroon.
Can I give more?
Absolutely. The Circle of 5 is the entry point — you can always increase your amount or add a one-time contribution on top.
