Ethiopia has twice as many twin births as Europe. Many twins are born prematurely and are unable to receive sufficient breastmilk if their mothers are malnourished. With not enough food, an astonishing 1 in 3 twins, in Ethiopia, will die before they turn 1 year old.
The Gemini Trust is an NGO dedicated to helping families in Addis with twins. Click here for more information.
If anyone has any more twin (or multiple) facts, please leave a comment. Thank you.
