Nigeria, Nov. 19 -- Prosper Peter, a fisherman, lost his pregnant wife in 2019 in Makoko, a floating community on the Lagos lagoon. Six years later, her memories and death still haunted him.

"My wife was in labour and we were going to the hospital in a boat when we ran into a timber log inside the water. And due to that, I lost my wife. I have not remarried because I remember her and that incident every day," he said.

"If we had a good hospital in the community, I would have taken her there instead to deliver the baby."

Makoko is a densely populated waterside community in Lagos. The residents live in wooden homes on the lagoon and move around in canoes. Despite its size, Makoko lacks basic amenities, including healthcare facilities.
