After arriving in the Central European country, the woman said she was employed as a cleaner, a job she has held for over 25 years.
Despite the cold weather and challenges in Europe, she remained focused on her goal of building a better life for herself and her family.
She indicated that her years of sacrifice had finally paid off, as she is now in a much better financial position than she was years ago.
She further disclosed that through her cleaning job, she’s been able to establish several businesses across Ghana.

According to the woman, she is the owner of Theo Dee Doors, a company that deals in quality Turkish steel doors, with several branches in Accra and Kumasi.
She said her success did not come on a silver platter, as she had to work 16 hours a day for over two decades in Switzerland.
“There is money in Switzerland, but life here is tough. If you are not a lazy person, you can make a lot of money here. I work 16 hours a day. I work at four places. I work as a cleaner in a school, a bank, and two other places,” she told Zionfelix.
The woman, who now frequents Ghana more often than before, said she was planning to return home permanently to focus on her many businesses.
