They are aged 13 and 14 and are giving birth to their first child - a sadly common situation in Central African Republic. More than 1 teenager in 6 gives birth to a child each year. 1 child in 7 dies before its first birthday - a figure that amounts to 85 per 1,000 births.
When she is not out working in the fields, Marie-Claude is busy working as a midwife. She helps about 60 mothers a week give birth to their babies, with whatever means she has to hand.
