Kadiatu lives with her parents and one sibling in a two-room mud and thatch-roofed house in the village of Kamawornie located in the northern area of Sierra Leone.  Kamawornie, like many of the villages in Sierra Leone, is very remote, lacking access to electricity, potable water, and good healthcare, creating additional hardships for kids and their families.  One of Kadiatu's daily chores is to fetch water from the local well or nearby river if the well runs dry.  

Kadiatu attends the Evangelical Junior Secondary School in Kamawornie. Mathematics is her favorite subject and she loves to read.

She dreams of becoming a nurse when she grows up.
