The story of the woman who is 40 years old and gave birth to 44 children – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

Mariam Nabatanzi she gave birth to twins a year after their marriage at age 12. They were followed by five pairs of twins, four of triplets and five of quadruplets. Three years ago, the 40-year-old Ugandan woman was abandoned by her husband who left her alone with 38 children – six of whom died – who accompany her to precarious homes in Kasawo, Uganda.

After the birth of her first twins, Nabatanzi consulted a doctor who told her that her ovaries were unusually large. He then recommended not to use contraceptives, such as pills, as they could cause health problems. So the kids kept coming.

Mariam's life has never been easy. She said she was saved from death when the woman put crushed glbad in the food and managed to kill her four brothers. She survived only because she was absent at the time, but her parents still managed to get rid of her, by marrying him with a much older man who physically abused her and did not prevent her from continuing to raise her children.

"I will continue to fight so that my children always have something to eat and I will never give up on them, even if we are going through a difficult time in our struggle to survive," he told reporters.

Mariam took the opportunity to give some advice to all men: "Do not forget your responsibility because marriage and the education of children are a common responsibility."

Through the Gofundme web portal, a series of donations have been collected to improve the quality of life in Africa of Mariam Nabatanzi and her 38 children. It should be noted that some of them are still in school.
