The Ghana Twins Foundation (GTF) was formed in June 1999 by a set of twins genuinely concerned for the welfare of deprived twins. It is a non-governmental organization promoting the social and economic well being of deprived and needy twins in the Ghanaian society, giving support to the challenges facing parents in raising twins and multiple births. It’s objective is to increase awareness of the special needs of twins and advocate their rights.

The formation of the GTF was the outcome of the sympathy Zeena and Maya Abou-Jaoude had (and still continue to have) when they came across distressed, dejected and neglected twins being used to beg for alms.
