Foday lives with his mother and kid sister in the Malama community, Freetown Sierra Leone. His father died four years ago and his mom sells local drinks to support her children.

Foday stays in a crowded community in a single-bedroom zinc house that leaks whenever it rains. Access to clean water supply is a challenge for Foday and his family. There is no electricity in their home and this affects him academically making it very difficult for him to study at night.

Foday is in JSS. His favorite subjects are Mathematics and English. When he is not doing house chores or school work, he likes to read and play football. He dreams of becoming a Scientist in the future.
