Akwaaba · Welcome
Worawora is the official home of the Worawora Traditional Area. Our people migrated from Kuntanase in Asante during the reign of Otumfuo Opoku Ware I and have kept Twi language, Akan stool custom, and allegiance to the Golden Stool for three centuries. The Omanhene of Worawora serves under the authority of the Asantehene.
From the Palace
“With the honour given to me and to the Worawora community, I will serve with a humble and good heart. If you call me and I do not come, then I have broken the great oath.”
— Daasebre Sarfro Baah III, Omanhene of Worawora
The mission of the Omanhene is to keep peace in the traditional area, honour the Golden Stool, reconcile the royal houses, and turn custom into development. Education, health, sanitation, and youth opportunity sit beside the stool as duties — not afterthoughts.
Worawora exists so sons and daughters at home and abroad can see the work of the palace, follow upcoming projects, and give toward the things that lift the town.
Ohemaa · Mother of the Oman
Nana Abena Safoa Awerewa II is the Queen Mother of the Worawora Traditional Area. After Worawora lost Daasebre Asare Baah, she stood in the gap for nearly fifteen years. In that long period, she kept watch over the town — peace in the streets, custom in the palace, and a mother’s eye on the young and the old until a new Omanhene was installed.
In Akan custom the Ohemaa is not a guest of the stool. She is the keeper of the family line, the voice that steadies the Oman when the male stool is vacant, and the one who calls for peace when the town is tired. That is the work she has done for Woraworaman.
Palace works
A fitting house for the Oman and its elders — so custom, dispute settlement and community meetings have dignity and a permanent home.
Books, light and internet at Worawora Anglican Primary so children of the traditional area can read and compete with any town in Ghana.
A modern station to protect life and property and keep the peace that development requires.
Clean, well-kept washrooms for markets and neighbourhoods — health is part of stool duty.

Solar lamps on the main streets, market approaches and dark corners of Worawora — so night trade is safer, children walk home with light, and the town does not wait on the national grid.
A skills house for tailoring, welding, carpentry, electrical work, catering and digital trades. Young people of the traditional area will learn a craft they can sell in Worawora and beyond.
Durable public bins at the market, lorry park, schools, clinic and neighbourhood junctions — with a collection plan so refuse does not return to the streets.

From Kuntanase
The people of Worawora are Akan of the Oyoko/Adako line. Ancestors left Kuntanase, near Lake Bosomtwe, in the time of Otumfuo Opoku Ware I (about 1732) and settled the present town around 1774. For more than three hundred years they have spoken Twi, kept Asante custom, and looked to the Golden Stool.
In 2002 the Oman returned openly to Asanteman. The current Omanhene has sworn the great oath before Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at Manhyia Palace. That is why this website places the Asantehene and the Asante flag beside the Worawora king and the Worawora emblem — respect, not decoration.
Akwantutenten, held each October, marks the long journey from Kuntanase. Population of the town is a little over seven thousand; it is among the larger settlements of Biakoye District.
