Our Schools

WYCF’s main ambition is to provide and maintain a safe, healthy and proper learning environment for our children.

We Yone Child Foundation believes every child possesses the right to an education. We provide primary school education to 836 children directly in the following communities – 518 girls, 318 boys. Our trusted and committed teachers follow the national curriculum.

These activities are supported by the provision of teacher training, learning materials, stationery, voluntary teachers’ assistants, community committees, a growing library, Summer School and meidcal lassistance when necessary.

Why Education

Without education, children in deprived communities are less likely to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and they may never have the opportunity to reach their potential.

Globally nearly 400 million children of primary school age cannot read or write. More than half of all 3 to 6 years old have no access to Pre-Primary education and 25million children will never enrolled in school and 2/3 of them are girls.

Kroo Bay

WYCF Kroo Bay Community School

Kroo Bay is located in Central Freetown. An estimated 10, 989 people live in this mud-sand bay, according to the 2015 Population and Housing Census.

We run a primary school for 170 children – 107 girls, 63 boys – in the heart of the community. From this base, we also work to raise the living standards of our children’s families.

For three years Mr. Kamara, the Head Teacher, led classes for his willing audience in an iron shack. today and after WYCF secured a safer location and built a school with better conditions. We employ seven committed teachers.

George brook

We Yone Primary School

George Brook is located on the green hillside of Freetown.

The school was built from scratch by WYCF in 2016 out of the growing need for more space for the out-of-school children in this community.

Employing 6 teachers working with 363 students – 160 girls, 203 boys – this school has become a landmark for WYCF’s strong presence in George Brook.
