Ben Fordham talks to Aminata about her story

“I grew up with my father and three other siblings… and my Dad was a businessman that travelled. So I grew up quite well off but in 1999 that changes… in the middle of the night we hear a lot of people crying, running around, trying to find safety.”

The one thing that puts a smile on my face is what I do in the [Aminata Maternal] Foundation… It is humbling to know that I could impact someone’s life in such a simple way” – Aminata Conteh-Biger
