Clear answers before you join.

Membership is for people connected to Cameroon who reside in the Netherlands. This includes Cameroonians, Dutch nationals of Cameroonian origin, eligible spouses—including non-Cameroonian spouses—and children under 18 linked to a registered parent or guardian.

No. FJH is for people connected to Cameroon who live in the Netherlands. A connection to Cameroon alone is not enough; you must also reside in the Netherlands.

Tell FJH as soon as possible. Residence in the Netherlands is an eligibility condition, so the Management Board must review your membership under the association’s approved rules.

Yes. Every adult and child is registered separately. Children are linked to a registered parent or guardian.

Once registration and the applicable fee are processed, FJH issues a temporary registration number. This marks the start of your six-month qualifying period. During this period, your registration is provisional and full membership support is not yet available.

FJH is built on people joining before an urgent need arises. Applying the same period to every new registrant protects fairness for existing members and helps keep the solidarity system dependable for everyone.

Full membership benefits begin six months after the date of registration and payment, provided all membership requirements are met. Register early so the qualifying period starts now—not when your family needs support.

No. FJH adds community support to any insurance or personal arrangements you may already have. It does not replace them. The money can help a family meet unexpected costs after a death.

The family or next of kin decides how to use the support and arrange the farewell. They may choose repatriation, burial or cremation in the Netherlands, or another lawful option. FJH does not make that decision.

No. FJH is not an insurance provider and does not guarantee a fixed benefit. The current campaign target is €6,000 until it is reviewed or changed under the association’s rules.

A verified campaign—including any extension—remains open for no longer than two weeks. The official campaign notice states the exact payment deadline.

The Board may extend the payment deadline within the two-week maximum and send a further notice. If a shortfall remains, FJH may use available reserve funds, in accordance with its approved rules, to complete the support while recovering unpaid contributions. An unpaid campaign share remains a debt owed to the association and will be pursued under the Internal Regulations. This safeguard protects the family; it does not remove any member’s obligation.

More members mean a smaller contribution for each person. Our goal is to grow until each member contributes less than €10 per campaign.

No. There is no monthly fee. Adults pay a one-time €25 registration fee. Registration for children under 18 is currently free. Members contribute only when a verified campaign opens.

We cannot predict the annual total because we do not know how many campaigns will happen. For example, a €6,000 campaign shared by 350 members is about €17.14 each. Two similar campaigns would total about €34.28, excluding the one-time adult registration fee.

No. By joining FJH, you agree to contribute to every verified campaign. If members contribute only when they choose, the amount rises for everyone else and the model becomes weaker.

You have completed the six-month qualifying period, your registration and applicable fee are in order, your details are current and you meet every campaign obligation. The Internal Regulations explain suspension and reinstatement.

FJH is run by volunteers from our community who contribute their skills, time and goodwill. Our Story records the completed support cases, while our registered status, shared authority and financial controls provide further safeguards.

FJH collects information needed to register members, maintain the member database, verify eligibility and good standing, communicate, manage campaigns and meet legal or financial duties. This may include identity, contact, household, payment and participation information.

Only authorised people and service providers may access information needed for association work. FJH does not sell member data. You may ask to see or correct your information and exercise other privacy rights where applicable.

No. Never post identity documents, death certificates or other sensitive information in the public member group. Send sensitive information only through the private channel requested by FJH.
