Additional Information / Shotlist My name is Tracy.
Here is my son, Archie Amigo.
He is my friend.
I am happy to see him.
He was 1.3 kg at birth.
I thank God now here he is
one year and almost 2 months.

6 months in her pregnancy,
Tracy started to feel pain.
She went to Mrima Maternity Hospital in Likoni,
where MSF has been offering sexual and reproductive health services
since 2016.

They took me in.
Their services was very good.
They took me to the labour room.
Then I gave birth.
My son was too small.
By the time I gave birth,
I called my husband and
told him:
"Today I gave birth to a baby,
and he weighs 1.3 kg ».
My husband left me.
He said he can't live with that
cursed person
in the house.
He said that my kid is a curse
because he was born
premature.
It was very…
It caught me off guard.
I used to cry day and night…

In Mrima health centre,
Tracy received postnatal care
and counselling.

Giving birth to a premature kid
is not a crime or a curse.
It is sometimes what we call
medical complications.
Me I had a complication
that is why I gave birth early
but I thank God.
We cope with the situation
up to now here we are.
And I say I am ok.
I am ok !
