She doesn’t charge for her services and helping stranded pregnant women is her concern. I started by befriending pregnant women at the church and then eight years ago I just started delivering babies. When the AP visited on Saturday, four pregnant women writhed in pain while sitting on blankets on the floor in the tiny living room-turned-maternity ward. Less than two hours later, the number of pregnant women had swelled to 10, their bags piled in a corner. The pregnant women flooding Gwena’s apartment are happy to receive any assistance as state-provided services either become unavailable or sharply deteriorate.
