A woman in a clinic on the outskirts of Kinshasa delivers baby Josh – a healthy baby boy. This clinic, with hardly any medical supplies, treats over 44 patients daily and delivers close to 100 babies per month. The clinic will get so packed that new mothers have to share a twin bed and sleep next to each other with their newborns. The area surrounding is very poor and many of the children will grow up on only get two meals per week. They are extremely malnourished causing their bellies to pop out and their hair to discolor.
