Some of these children’s parents also managed to cross over to Guinea during the civil war in Sierra Leone and Liberia and they finally decided to stay and start a new life in Guinea after losing their families and properties in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
I decided to become their best friend and bring them together.
Upon that base, I decided to start the DCD Foundation and search for financial support and staff to transform the lives of these vulnerable/destitute children as they have no hope in their lives.
And most of these children’s parents fled from Sierra Leone and Liberia and finally decided to settle their lives in Guinea where some of them are facing persecution.
Some of these women were fortunate to marry men in Guinea. When their husband or loved one dies, they end up facing another persecution from the husband’s family.
As foreigners, they will be told to leave their homes. Many women end up in a situation with their children begging and searching for domestic work to earn a living.
I am praying and wishing as the founder of the DCD and the DEA to meet people who will be in touch and come to our aid to transform the lives of these children for a better future

Its goal is to foster a peaceful co-existence among young people, we equip youth with Human Rights Education where youth are trained to be human rights defenders starting from where they stay to the community in which they live as champions of humanity as well as being the positive change in the society. We equip rural residents and youth with training knowledge and skills that develop their capacity for thinking, empathy, and personal responsibility to reject violence.
And help them gain skills and opportunities to grow socially- economically, where we equip the community with skills of entrepreneurship and saving skills finally, we teach genocide studies with a great emphasis on the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi to build a tolerant society with the hope of a better future without hatred.
