In a message directed at mothers across Ghana and the wider world, she highlighted their profound strength, sacrifice, resilience, and unconditional love.
Writing in a Facebook post shared on Sunday, 10 May, the Vice President emphasised that mothers serve as the essential glue holding families, communities, and economies together.
She noted that their unwavering dedication remains a constant source of inspiration and that, through their resilience and commitment, they continue to act as the true backbone of society.
“Today, we recognise the strength, sacrifice, wisdom, and unconditional love of mothers across Ghana and around the world. Mothers hold families, communities, and, in many cases, entire economies together. Their resilience and dedication continue to inspire.”
Expanding on her tribute, the Vice President touched upon several government initiatives currently being implemented to improve the welfare of women and mothers throughout the country.
She indicated that President John Dramani Mahama’s administration remains steadfast in its mission to promote empowerment, dignity, and opportunity for women through deliberate social and economic interventions.

“As a government, we remain committed to improving the lives of women and mothers through deliberate interventions that promote empowerment, dignity, and opportunity. Through initiatives like the 24-hour markets and the Women’s Development Bank, we are working to create a more inclusive and supportive Ghana. We are also investing in skills training, apprenticeship programmes, access to finance, and the nationwide provision of free sanitary pads for schoolgirls.”
Concluding her message, she offered a personal word of gratitude to all those fulfilling maternal duties.
“On this special day, I acknowledge every mother, grandmother, guardian, and woman who plays a maternal role in the lives of others. Your love and service do not go unnoticed,” she wrote.
