For 22 years, Florence Makena, 48, and her husband John Gitobu, 59, endured the anguish, shame and ridicule of a childless marriage, but not for lack of trying.

There is nowhere Makena’s yearning for motherhood did not take her: from gynaecologists to pastors and even traditional herbalists; from Meru to Ukambani and Nairobi.
