After his mother's death giving birth to twins, Seme Khemis was determined to help other pregnant women in South Sudan. He saved up to buy an ultrasound scanner to scan the pregnant women in his community. When the country was hit by war, he refused to leave his beloved ultrasound machine behind, and carried it on his head when he fled on foot to Uganda. Image: Seme Khemis Credit: Sara Hylton
