Alieu Conteh and Muso Conteh are caring for the baby of their daughter, Latifa Kamara, who died recently. Mabinty Conteh is raising her granddaughter, Isatu Conteh, who carries the same name as her deceased mother.

Mohamed Kamara is holding Ibrahim, his sister-in-law's child, who is now part of the family. Since her daughter died, Margaret Bangura and her son-in-law, Mohamed Fofana, have been looking after little Hassan Fofana together.
