A picture of Mariam Nabatanzi, an African woman who is 40 years old and has 44 children, went viral on the internet. Her older husband left the family, and she is now the only one who can feed the kids.
Mariam Nabatanzi, a Ugandan woman, gave birth to 44 children at the age of 40, all from the same man. Her story went viral and set the internet on fire.
The woman lives in Uganda, which is in East Africa. She is known as Mama Uganda, which means "the most fertile woman on earth."
This Ugandan woman had 16 girls and 22 boys, with the last one being born in December of 2016. The mother of 44 children is a single parent who cares for her kids on her own because her husband left her, their children, and all their money and ran away quickly.

It is interesting that the woman gave birth to so many children without getting any special medical care. Mama Uganda said that doctors told her that she is too fertile and could have too many children, and that if she stopped having children, her body might get sick.
Mama Uganda was only 12 when her parents arranged for her to get married. She had her first child when she was 13. She only gave birth to one child once. After that, she gave birth to twins four times, triplets five times, and quadruplets once (5 times).
Explorer Joe Hattab shared a video of Mama Uganda and her home on Facebook. In the video, she said that her husband took the money and ran away. Six of the 44 children the single mother gave birth to have died, which is sad. Now, she only has 38 children left.
Mariam works all day and night because she is a professional event decorator, hairstylist, and herbal medicine maker. She gets money from fundraisers and other gifts, and she does everything she can to feed her kids.
