This post might help...

I think the problems laid out in that thread might help you get there. In particular "Please see the Guide to DHS Statistics, pages 90-94, and pay particular attention to the Calculation section. We use a synthetic cohort life table approach as described in point 3 on page 91, and we estimate mortality for a five year period preceding the survey (see the diagram on page 93)..."

If that doesn't fully get you there, it might at least get you closer and then you could ask narrower questions that might be easier to answer. I'm not a mortality expert, and the calculations are a little tricky, but the Guide to Statistics and that previous thread are probably the best places to start.
