Agnes Noti, 22, of Tanzania, was photographed at the Kiomboi District Hospital as she was prepared to give birth to her third child. There was no source of water in the rooms where mothers deliver babies or care for newborns. There was one toilet and women had access to a sink that's also used to wash medical equipment. The water they drink is purchased from a shop, she said.
