The Ghana Twin Foundation organizes various events so watch out for the dates.

The GHANA TWINS FESTIVAL event aims at strengthening ties amongst twins and fostering peace and friendship within the Ghanaian society and deepening cultural interactions amongst nations. The event serves as a platform to celebrate and share the unique values and deepen the bond of society. Over the years, the event has been used to address issues and concerns of multiple births, advocacy programs, charity and community service and tourism development.
The event sees a wonderful convergence of thousands of multiples including twins, triplets, and quadruplets, identical and non identical twins from all parts of the country and beyond including policy makers, tourists, researchers and the mass media. No doubt multiple births especially identical twins with the exact, same genetic information are a fascinating study in human behavior and inspire faith.
Given the common factor of twins and the event to be featured by twins, it will positively inspire society and nurture a new cultural understanding by making twins serve as cultural ambassadors promoting peace building and humanitarian work and create a better socio-cultural understanding of ethnical values. The concept is the contribution of twins and multiples in promoting national harmony and peaceful co existence in the region and beyond.

GET TWINS OFF THE STREETS CAMPAIGN
The Ghana Twins Foundation as part of its campaign to get twins off the streets has been able to transform a number of twins from the streets and integrated them into the main stream of development.
Asana and Fusiena are part of the beneficiaries of our support. They have been exploited in the act of street begging since they were four years, however by the compassion of the Foundation, today they are in school and the Foundation is supporting them in all aspect of life helping to develop their potential to grow up to become useful and resourceful citizens of the nation.
Currently the Foundation has launched an advocacy campaign to draw government and stakeholders attention to the plight of twins being used to beg for alms on the streets
Begging with Twins is a common sight in Accra. This form of societal phenomenon denies the children a proper upbringing and hinders their chances of a better future. – Ghana Twins Foundation, 2009
Asana and Fusiena, picked up from the streets by Zeena and Maya and enrolled in school at the Padmore Primary School in Tema.
