Gibril lives with his parents and two brothers in a brick and zinc-roofed house in a very poor section of Freetown where access to clean water is limited and bad roads are a challenge for the residents. His father works as a carpenter on local building sites while his mother tends to the house. His father doesn't earn much money, so the family struggles. 

Gibril is growing up in the hill station community in Freetown, where access to clean water is a challenge. Family homes are made of bricks with zinc roofing. 

His favorite subject is Social Studies.  In his spare time, he enjoys playing football with his friends. Gibril dreams of becoming an officer in the Sierra Leone army because he wants to serve his country and save lives and properties.
