Tesfanesh was the first woman I met at Hamlin and she smiles as she shows me her amulet, which in Ethiopian lore provides protection. She is animated as we talk and she tells me about her family and her first visit to Hamlin.
She is 28 years old and has a wonderful 16 year old son.
Optimism flows from Tesfanesch as she is excited for her third child that she will give birth to here within the supportive environment of Hamlin hospital. But her life was not always so, her second child was still born and left her with fistulae.
