In Ghana and the Ivory Coast, Asase Yaa and Asase Afua become as one. Asase Yaa is depicted as an old woman, Old Mother Earth, and as such she is regarded as the Goddess of the barren places on earth, and the mother of the dead and Goddess of Truth and Peace. Asase Afua by contrast, is depicted as a youthful, incredibly beautiful woman. She is regarded as the Goddess of the fertile places on earth, fertility, farming, love and procreation. She is credited as being the nurturer of the earth and is considered to provide sustenance for all.

Completing our Asase marathon will plant 15 trees and help give back to the planet.
