Balansama lives with his parents and two siblings in a three bedroom mud bricks adobe house with unfinished dirt floors and unpaved walls in a community found in northern Sierra Leone. He sleeps with his elder sister on a locally made mat that is carefully placed on the floor in one corner of the room. His father is a small scale famer while his mother sells assorted local foodstuffs in the local market. The joint income of both parents is not enough to cater for the wellbeing of the family. Balansama is attending school in the community with limited support from his parents on education. He is in good health and has very good retentive memory. His outstanding performance in class made him to be appointed as class prefect as he always lead his peers in class during exams. Balansama dream is to become a Medical Nurse if given the opportunity through sponsorship, it will help him acheive his dreams and contribute to national development.
