Asase Yaa – A Gift from God: Honouring Mothers & Mother Earth

As we approach Mother’s Day, we pause to honour the women who have shaped our lives with unconditional love. But motherhood is not only about the women who nurture us—it’s also a reflection of God’s abundant care, evident in His gift of creation.

In the Akan language of Ghana, specifically among the Ashanti people, Mother Earth is affectionately called Asase Yaa. She symbolises the nurturing care, provision, and fruitfulness God intended for us when He created the earth. Asase Yaa is not a deity but rather a beautiful representation of God’s generosity—a reminder that He has equipped the world to nurture and sustain us, just like a mother does.
