Accra, May 11, GNA – On this year’s International Mother’s Day, First Lady Lordina Mahama has congratulated mothers and women across the country.
The First Lady in a statement made available to the Ghana News Agency acknowledged the sacrifices of mothers and women for their respective families.
“My dear mothers and remarkable women of Ghana, on this beautiful occasion of Mother’s Day, my heart is filled with profound gratitude and admiration for each of you,” Mrs Mahama said.
“Today is an opportunity to pause and honour the incredible strength, unwavering love, and countless sacrifices that mothers make daily.
“We are the pillars of our homes and the heartbeat of our nation. Mothers nurture the future.”
She said their nurturing hands, wise counsel, and unconditional assistance foster strong families and communities, laying the groundwork for a compassionate society.
“My dear mothers, I know your daily efforts and challenges as you strive to build better lives for yourselves and your families.”
The First Lady said the well-being of their homes and children was intrinsically linked to the progress and stability of the nation.
She noted that her deepest conviction, a belief shared wholeheartedly by hee husband, President John Dramani Mahama, was that creating an environment where every Ghanaian family can prosper is paramount.
Mrs Mahama said her husband remains steadfast in his commitment to resetting our economy to achieve robust and inclusive growth, creating more job opportunities for the nation’s youth and all citizens.
She said the President was also dedicated to positioning Ghana as a preferred destination for local and international investment and business, ultimately aimed at improving the living conditions for all Ghanaians and ensuring a brighter future for our children.
She reiterated that her commitment to supporting women and vulnerable groups in Ghana remains as strong as ever.
The First Lady said through the work of the Lordina Foundation, they would continue their efforts to empower women through skills training and economic support, advocate for their rights, and provide essential assistance to those who need it most, including children and persons living with HIV/AIDS.
She said a critical area of their focus was healthcare, particularly for mothers and children.
She said they were dedicated to improving healthcare facilities across the country, specifically by providing modern, fully equipped maternity and children’s wards in hospitals.
Mrs Mahama said ensuring that mothers receive the best possible care during pregnancy and childbirth and that their children had access to quality health services was a cause very close to her heart, and that she would continue to champion it.
“Today, as we celebrate mothers, know that your sacrifices, strength, and love are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated by your families, communities, and nation,” Mrs Mahama said.
“May God bless you abundantly for all that you do. May your day be filled with joy, peace, and the profound love you so richly deserve.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers and women of Ghana.”
