According to her, through prayer, unity, and purposeful leadership, the world can become a safer place where every child is valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
In her prayer, the First Lady remembered orphans and underprivileged children in Ghana and beyond, asking for divine provision, care, and guidance for them. She also sought blessings for caregivers and child advocates working tirelessly to support young lives.
Mrs. Mahama underscored that all children deserve the chance to live with dignity, access quality education, and enjoy a childhood free from fear, neglect, and deprivation.
