Ntcheu, March 29, Mana: Women from various Christian dominations in Ntcheu district gathered at Ntcheu Roman Catholic ground on Friday to commemorate this year's Women's World Day of Prayer (WWDP).

Speaking during the ceremony, chairperson of WWDP for Ntcheu district, Emily Vakusi, said it is necessary for women in the world to have time for reflection and discuss their anxieties to foster unity among themselves.

Vakusi added that women need to ask God for wisdom and guidance on how they can execute their responsibilities, as they are pillars for their families  and the nation's development.

Taking her part, WWDP central region coordinator Tracey Masi asked women to have exemplary behaviour.

"A good mother is a reason for a happy family and the nation at large, so women need to be loving, caring and faithful to their families in order to raise their children with good morals," she said.

This year's prayers are being held under the theme: ‘You are wonderfully made’, taken from the biblical scripture of Psalms chapter 129 verse 14.
