Her Excellency Mrs Lordina Mahama, Ghana’s First Lady, delivered her keynote address at the 7th Annual Prayer Service for the Children on Monday, September 22.

The event, which was held at the Church Centre for the United Nations, Tillman Chapel in New York, was part of the activities at the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

The Prayer Service, convened on the margins of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, was organised by World Vision International in collaboration with leading global faith-based and humanitarian partners.

This year’s theme, “A Moment of Hope”, explored six dimensions of hope, compassion, resilience, purpose, joy, wisdom, and spiritual life at a time when the world is grappling with unprecedented challenges.

Mrs Lordina Mahama’s participation highlighted her longstanding commitment to championing children’s welfare, protection, and empowerment in Ghana and beyond.

Other distinguished speakers included Rev. Andrew J. Morley, President and CEO, World Vision International, and Mrs Cindy McCain, Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme.
