Excited for the chance to capture the beautiful faces of Ugandan villagers, and for the 1-hour walk it takes to get deep into the countryside. I open the curtains and the weather is not as exhilarated as I am. I send Agaba a message if we can still go. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, the sun will come out soon!\u201d When I open the gate to our compound for Agaba an hour later the rain starts to pour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky for us, Agaba\u2019s father is willing to drive us to Kyela, so half an hour later we\u2019re bouncing down a bumpy road. It\u2019s good we still get to go, because Agaba says he\u2019s told the kids of the village we\u2019re coming and they are very excited. In fifteen minutes I get to see for myself; as we drive into town there are already quite some children waiting for us. We get out of the car and make our way through the crowd of kids into a house. That\u2019s where I meet her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nambogo Teddy is 90 years old, though she doesn\u2019t look the part. I joke that I can\u2019t believe it, she looks so fit! I quickly find out why: Nambogo is still a practicing midwife, delivering babies for almost 80 years. Aside from her job, she does so much for Kyela that the villagers nicknamed her Theresa, after the famous Mother. As I sit listening to her story I forget all about Kyela, stop thinking about the kids who are waiting; I want to learn more about Nambogo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5bd1746fb8f6b247fd4d1aec\/5cd1a3c4de948446d29161d9_20190413-Kyela_VIllage-328.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of an African baby in black and white.

Before I get the time to do so, she\u2019s up and out of the room. When she returns she\u2019s wearing her best clothes. In her colourful dress she sits back down and the queen of Kyela is ready. As she sits on her throne I look at all the posters and pictures on the wall behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My eye falls on one picture, on which is another beautiful woman. \u201cNambogo, my great grandmather, produced that woman,\u201d Agaba tells me, \u201cAnd that woman produced my mother, and she produced me.\u2019 I love that. Although I take some pictures of just Nambogo, her offspring is visible through that picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5bd1746fb8f6b247fd4d1aec\/5ce5958b4a02f70a1d7bcb16_20190413-Kyela_VIllage-003.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of a African great grandma in her livingroom.

The room we\u2019re in is already overcrowded, but as we look outside we see more women and children running up the hill. They\u2019re coming to spend time with us. There are ever more people trying to crowd in, and I just want to know more about Nambogo. She doesn\u2019t speak a word of English, but Agaba translates well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5bd1746fb8f6b247fd4d1aec\/5cd1a4b9138ec153098962c8_African_family_photo_in_livingroom.jpg\" alt=\"Living room filled with african family. Ellis &amp; Me\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"\/><figcaption>Living room of Great Grandma filled with kids from kyela.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She has been a midwife since she was 13 years old, when her grandma taught her. She has had occasions where she helped women years older give birth. That time is far behind her. Nearly every child in this town was brought into the world by Nambogo. She helps the women who don\u2019t have money to go to the hospital, or who are in labour in the night. I ask her how much people in this room she has helped deliver. She looks around for a second and says: \u201cMany.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This great grandma sits and tells a story of a woman who was about to have her child. Already well into labour she was trying to get to Nambogo as fast as she could, but she didn\u2019t make it to the house. She gave birth right there in the red dirt streets of Kyela. Nambogo came to her in time, and the child was born healthy. \u201cI have never held a dead baby in my hands,\u201d she says. This comes as a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that takes me by surprise, although, regarding her age, I should\u2019ve known: Nambogo\u2019s eyes aren\u2019t well anymore. In one eye she\u2019s nearly blind, and the other is only slightly better. She says her hands just know what to do. The women in the room chime in: \u2018She could do it with her eyes closed,\u201d and, \u201cGod loves her, that\u2019s why she can still do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads-ssl.webflow.com\/5bd1746fb8f6b247fd4d1aec\/5ce5974465180ecc37c828fd_20190413-Kyela_VIllage-032.jpg\" alt=\"A African twin with their mother in a livingroom.

She does it for free and if people are able to give something, they pay as little as 20.000 shillings (about \u20ac4,75) for her work. She\u2019s doing it, because this is what she has always done, because it\u2019s what she was made to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019ll keep delivering babies, seeing them draw their first breaths, until she draws her last.
