Woman turns to contraceptives after 11th baby

Amina Konde Kazungu in Mkombe village, Kili¬fi. She needs to raise Sh100,000 for the baby to undergo surgery. (Jenipher Wachie, Standard)

Amina Kazungu walks out of her grass-thatched house with a mound of steaming ugali and vegetables.

Her children, aged between two and eight, are in tow. Some of them hold on to her leso, desperately trying to reach for the food. She shoos them away, kicking at the ones who are too close.
