Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare, the Nkosuohemaa for the Oseawuo Division of Okyeman, has been honoured with a prestigious Peace, Humanitarian Service, and Development Award at the Global Peace Ambassadors Awards & NGOs Conference 2025, held on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at the British Council Auditorium in Accra. The award recognised her exceptional service to humanity and her unwavering commitment to peacebuilding, education, cultural empowerment, and community development across Ghana.

The Global Peace Ambassadors Awards & NGOs Conference 2025 was organised by Aim Ghana Foundation, led by the World Citizens Peace Ambassador for Ghana, Gladys Biney, in collaboration with the National Peace Council of Ghana.

Held under the patronage of renowned international evangelist Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, the event brought together global peace advocates, non-governmental organisations, corporate leaders, traditional authorities, and development practitioners. 

The conference celebrated individuals and institutions whose work continues to advance democracy, unity, sustainable development, and social transformation in Ghana and beyond.

At the heart of Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare’s recognition is her visionary leadership through two impactful institutions: the Rainbow Trust Foundation (RTF) and the Heritage Hands Foundation (HHF). As the Founder and President of the Heritage Hands Foundation, a unique association of Queenmothers dedicated to cultural preservation and social impact, she has championed the promotion of Ghanaian heritage, women’s leadership, and community development.

Under her leadership, HHF has donated books and educational materials to schools and institutions across Ghana and supported critical infrastructure projects, including the construction of a modern six-seater toilet facility with a mechanised borehole for the Ningo-Ahwiam D/A Basic School, directly improving learning conditions for nearly 2,000 pupils.

Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare recently also emerged as a beacon of cultural leadership when she received a prestigious honour at the International Edition of the Accra Arts and Crafts Market. The award recognized her tireless efforts in preserving Ghana’s cultural identity and empowering communities, particularly women and girls, through culture-driven development initiatives.

In recognition of this transformative work, the Diaspora Affairs Office under the Office of the President has officially endorsed the Heritage Hands Foundation.

As the Founder and CEO of the Rainbow Trust Foundation, Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare has dedicated over two decades to advancing literacy, education, and human development. Through a strategic partnership with Book Aid International, UK, RTF has supported 239 schools and institutions nationwide, established over 80 libraries, distributed more than 400,000 books and educational materials, and trained 285 teacher-librarians in basic library management.

Her work has significantly strengthened reading culture, access to knowledge, and educational equity in underserved communities across Ghana, earning her international recognition and a place on the International Advisory Board of Book Aid International.

In recent months, Rainbow Trust Foundation has expanded its impact through the rollout of a new flagship programme titled “Education and Sports.” Launched in partnership with Book Aid International, UK, the initiative seeks to strengthen literacy and educational skills among juvenile athletes, recognising the growing need for intellectual development alongside physical training.

The inaugural event was proudly hosted at the Lucky Mensah Football Academy on Sunday, 14th December 2025, marking a bold step toward nurturing both the minds and athletic potential of young sports talents. Complementing this initiative is another innovative programme set to launch in 2026, “One Hospital, One Library,” which aims to establish libraries within medical facilities to support medical education, patient learning, and holistic healthcare delivery.

Beyond literacy and culture, Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare’s development agenda continues to expand into critical social infrastructure. As part of its upcoming projects, Rainbow Trust Foundation will be constructing a mechanised borehole at the Great Hall premises of the University of Ghana, contributing to improved access to clean water and supporting the wellbeing of students and the wider university community.

The award conferred on Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare stands as a testament to a life devoted to service, leadership, and faith-driven impact. Her work continues to bridge culture and development, education and empowerment, and tradition and innovation. As she receives this honour, her journey remains a powerful reminder that peace, progress, and national transformation are built through consistent service, collaborative partnerships, and a deep commitment to humanity.
