Truck for We Yone Child Foundation

A Truck for Change, time for a New Ride

Years ago, the Wegdam Foundation proudly donated a truck to the We Yone Child Foundation (WYCF), unlocking mobility and efficiency for projects in George Brook, Freetown, and the Karene district. This truck became a lifeline, delivering school supplies, shoebox gifts, clean water systems, and essential materials to some of the most remote areas in Sierra Leone.

School materials reached classrooms faster.
Project goods arrived where they were needed most.
Staff and volunteers overcame the toughest terrain with ease.

But after years of heavy use on rough roads, the truck is now worn down and in urgent need of replacement. To continue supporting thousands of children and families across the country, WYCF needs a new, reliable vehicle.

The Wegdam Foundation is proud to anounce that we search for a new truck for the We Yone Child Foundation.

With a new truck, we keep the mission moving.

Truck Now in Use

02-04-2026

The Wegdam Foundation truck is now officially in use. After delays in shipping and an endlessly bureaucratic registration process, it finally hit the road.

The truck is now actively being used by the Foundation and has already become essential for distributing our aid supplies and supporting the construction of our schools. What previously required hiring external transport, often expensive due to the severe shortage of reliable trucks, can now be organized directly by the Foundation.

Truck Arrives in Sierra Leone

10-30-2025

We are pleased to announce that the Wegdam Foundation truck has successfully arrived in Sierra Leone. This vehicle will play a vital role in transporting essential goods and humanitarian aid to communities across the country, including those in remote areas that are often difficult to reach due to challenging terrain.

Through our partnership with WYCF, we aim to strengthen local support networks and ensure that help reaches those who need it most.
