Abu Bakarr lives in Kamawornie village in northern Sierra Leone with his parents and siblings. Abu Bakarr's parents are farmers, who grow rice, groundnut, and beans on their farm every planting season. There is no electricity or pipe-borne water in the village where he lives so he usually uses locally-made candles / solar lights to study at night. There is also no high school in the village where he lives hence, he either will have to walk about ten miles every day to attend high school in a nearby town or he will need to relocate to a bigger town for high school.  Abu Bakkar dreams of becoming a medical doctor in the future so that he can heal the sick in his community.
