Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of Africa's most celebrated writers –
with Half of a Yellow Sun, Purple Hibiscus and Americana among the books
to her name.
She is also one of more than 30 artists to contribute to a special
artistic project on vaccination in Africa and around the world.
"The
art of saving a life" celebrates the powers of immunisation and draws
attention to the fact that one in five children today still do not have
access to vaccines.
The project was commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
From
our BBC studios in Washington, she recorded this exclusive reading of
her short story Olikoye to coincide with a major ministerial conference
on immunisation in Africa which is taking place in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia.
