Kadiatu, mother
About me
My exciting news!
My name is Kadiatu, I am 30 years old and I’ve just given birth to my fourth child - a baby girl. Unfortunately I lost one child to malaria two years ago; a three-year-old boy called Salu. I’m happy to have another child because of losing Salu.My videos

My other children
I have a daughter called Fatmata who is 14 years old and a son called Morseray who is eight. Fatmata is a good girl. She studies and helps me around the house before she goes to school. Morseray helps me fetch water. He’s a grown-up boy . He’s serious and studies hard. They both go to school.
My hopes for them
I want my children to study hard and get good jobs. I hope they will take good care of me when I am old.
How we earn a living
My husband sells firewood and sticks. I sell small things like smoked fish. I’m happiest when I have money because I worry about money. To feed the whole family costs a lot of money.
My first husband
I lost my first husband. He had a headache for almost three years and then he died. I’ve been with my current husband for three years and this is our first child together.
What I think about Kroo Bay
Kroo Bay is not safe for children. We’re always afraid of the flooding which brings illness with it. I hope my children will live in a proper cement house somewhere else when they grow up.
