I believe that the third entry should be a two rather than a one.

Assuming that you want to count the numbers of ones within each 
sublists, you could use, among many other way, one of the following:

In[1]:= lst = {{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
     0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
      0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
     0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
      0}};

Count[#, 1] & /@ lst

Total[Transpose@lst]

Plus @@@ lst

Out[2]= {0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1}

Out[3]= {0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1}

Out[4]= {0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1}
