Festus has four younger half-siblings, one girl and three boys. Festus resides with his father and stepmother at home, in a one-room and parlor flat rented in a big house compartment at Looking Town in the Grafton community, the eastern part of Freetown.

Grafton is a remote area where most of the residents are low-income earners and the community lacks access to clean drinking water and electricity.  Most of the residents in the Grafton community are stone miners and petty traders.

He dreams of becoming a medical doctor. His father is unemployed and his stepmother is involved in petty trading making it very challenging for Festus to further his education to the next level.
