Former First Lady of Ghana, Mrs. Lordina Mahama has made a passionate appeal to all persons to extend a helping hand to the underprivileged in society as Ghana joins the rest of the world to celebrate Mother's day.

Mrs. Mahama in a statement further commended matrons of orphanages in Ghana for serving as foster parents to orphans.

She said; "Be a mother to someone, today. Let us develop a culture of kindness, put a smile on the faces of the needy and extend a helping hand to our neighbours.

Mothers are precious and irreplaceable. Let’s make their day a truly memorable one. To all mothers; to all you single mothers, widows and fathers playing the role of mothers, God Bless you". She added

Below is her full statement:

As we celebrate our Mothers yet again today, the Lordina Foundation and I are happy to celebrate the men and women who have over the years served as foster parents to children who have called the orphanages across the country their home.

These hardworking and compassionate Home Matrons deserve to be celebrated on behalf of the children they nurture, train, teach and mould. Thank you for the selfless sacrifices, love and care you show to these children.


The Lordina Foundation as it has always done will continue to support these homes as they build a conducive home environment for children who find themselves there.

Be a mother to someone, today. Let us develop a culture of kindness, put a smile on the faces of the needy and extend a helping hand to our neighbours.

Mothers are precious and irreplaceable. Let’s make their day a truly memorable one. To all mothers; to all you single mothers, widows and fathers playing the role of mothers, God Bless you.

We love you.
