Skills & Languages
In 1996, twelve-year-old Santigie Bayo Dumbuya was among several boys who were taken from Kamabonko Village to fight for the Revolutionary United Front during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Fighting near the Guinean border, by the age of fourteen Santigie had sustained multiple bullet and shrapnel wounds. He went to Freetown in year 2000 to recover from the war, complete his education and founded We Yone Child Foundation (WYCF) in 2009 with the vision to ensure educated children and empowered families to live in healthy, developed and integrated communities. Santigie decided to focus WYCF’s efforts on Kroo Bay and George Brook until 2019 scale up activities in three other rural communities, the appalling conditions in these communities called for action and no other organization was producing results.
WYCF strives to improve the lives of vulnerable children and their families by providing quality education and self-empowerment opportunities. We work in extremely poor slum and rural communities in Sierra Leone, running 3 primary schools delivering education to over 1,000 children, and provide scholarships for students to continue their education including community outreach initiatives focusing on child protection, female empowerment and basic health and hygiene training. School clubs and local community counselling sessions focused on teenage pregnancy, sexual violence and ending child marriage.

About the Non-Profit
We Yone Child Foundation
Overview
WYCF strives to improve the lives of vulnerable children and their families by providing quality education and self-empowerment opportunities. We work in extremely poor slum communities in Freetown, run 3 primary schools delivering education to over 1,000 children, and provide scholarships for students. WYCF facilitates several community outreach initiatives focusing on child protection, female empowerment and basic health and hygiene training. This includes school clubs and local community counselling sessions focused on teenage pregnancy, sexual violence and child marriage. Our “Girls to Women Reusable Pads” project tackles menstruation stigma, provides girls with safe and affordable hygiene products, and facilitates training sessions for the production of reusable pads. In collaboration with the NGO Street Child, WYCF has implemented “Girls Speak Out”, a project that carries out city-wide needs assessments, distributes educational resources to girls at risk of dropping out of school, and delivers targeted livelihoods support.
Mission
History
In 1996, twelve-year-old Santigie Bayo Dumbuya was among several boys who were taken from Kamabonko Village to fight for the Revolutionary United Front during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Fighting near the Guinean border, by the age of fourteen Santigie had sustained multiple bullet and shrapnel wounds.
In 1999, Santigie’s unit was stationed near a team called Sanyah.
‘When we entered the town in the evening the heavy gunfight sounded like music, but full of death and sorrow. What I saw on that day was so terrible. Some of my close friends were killed. During the fighting I saw a female child at the age of 5-6 years old crying. I saw two people lying on the ground, one was already dead and the other is struggling to die.’ Santigie remembered his village and the person whom he was raised to be – ‘that was the day of my revolution and my heart was inspired.’
He dropped his gun and ran through the crossfire to save the girl. With no food or water, Santigie carried her for two days and two nights to safety. He saved her life.
Santigie never saw the girl again. He went to Freetown to recover from the war, complete his education and founded We Yone Child Foundation (WYCF) in 2009. Santigie decided to focus WYCF’s efforts on Kroo Bay and George Brook. the appalling conditions in these two communities called for action and no other organization was producing results.
‘We Yone’ means ‘our own” in the locally spoken Krio language. It is the perfect description for the way we feel about the children we work for every day.
