Vzw Wanyuri was founded in December 2016 by Sunjo Relindis Kiven who has been living in Belgium for several years with her family. She has built a career as a software development project manager. With Wanyuri Foundation, Sunjo wants to continue the work of her mom, a woman with a particularly big heart mankind. She herself was from humble beginnings, still she helped everyone who needed help. Her name was Yuri, which in the local dialect means "to listen". Sunjo and some of her sisters want to keep their mother's work alive and continue her legacy charity. That's why they founded the non-profit organization Wanyuri, whichChild of Yuri.
The organisation helps underprivileged children, families, farmers, orphans and widows in Cameroon. Wanyuri initially started it's activities in the birthplace of YURI, Kumbo/Banso a region with 43 villages and a population of just under 130,000. The small villages suffer from poor sanitation, lack of drinking water and electricity, small and dilapidated school buildings without school materials, poor access to quality farm inputs etc. Dispite all of these, Kumbo is home to the best cardiovascular hospital in the country. It's abundant natural resources & rich culture makes a great place to visit for tourism in Cameroon.
