Today in Ahoada, something beautiful unfolded.
It began with a vibrant rally — mothers, health workers, and community leaders marching with one clear message: every child deserves the best start in life.
At the Model Primary Health Centre, the programme opened with prayer. Then came a powerful talk on this year’s theme: “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthening What Works.”
The official flag-off followed, complete with a practical demonstration on proper breastfeeding techniques. Mothers watched closely, asking questions, learning, and smiling with new confidence.
As First Lady of Ahoada East, I had the privilege of charging the women present. I encouraged every mother to exclusively breastfeed her baby for the first six months — no water, no other food, just pure breast milk. It is free, it is complete, and it is the foundation of a healthy life.
Gifts were shared with the mothers, and we closed in prayer, grateful for the day and hopeful for the future.
This is more than an event. It is a commitment to our children and to generations yet unborn.
Together, we will keep strengthening what works.
