Keeping Hope Alive in Somalia

 

In 1983, Dr. Hawa Abdi opened a rural clinic outside of Mogadishu, Somalia. But in the early 1990s, the Somali government collapsed, famine struck, and aid groups fled. Since then, her clinic has grown into a hospital with over 400 beds. She has built a school, and her 1,300 acres of farmland have been turned into a camp that has sheltered as many as 90-thousand displaced people. Hawa Abdi and her daughter and fellow doctor Deqo Mohammed, sit down with Steve Paikin to discuss her memoir, "Keeping Hope Alive."
