PDF File Size: 827 KB | Download   
Kabita BK got married at the age of 16. At only 17 she gave birth to her first child at home with the help of a traditional birth attendant. Now at 20 Kabita is pregnant with her second child, but this time she wants to give birth in a health facility. She lost her house in the devastating earthquake and has been living in a temporary shelter since. In preparation to her baby’s arrival Kabita visited the reproductive health camp in Gankhu Village Development Committee (VDC) of Gorkha, close to her current shelter, which was carried out in the aftermath of the earthquake.
