I was living by my wits. Life was tough for me. There are no jobs available, so as you grow up with no proper education, men take advantage of you as a young, naive girl. I tried so many times to get a job when I moved from the village to the city. Men promised to give me a job if I would sleep with them all to no avail. Things were getting hard, and I needed to survive as I had not only myself but my newborn baby. A friend introduced me to a male friend of his who promised to pay me after he got what he wanted from me. I needed the money badly, so I finally gave in, and at the end of the day, I got money which helped me in that moment a lot. From there, I started getting such introductions and gradually, I became a sex worker.
I hated it when I finally realized what had happened to myself. I wanted to get out, but I didn’t have any way. I’d lost my confidence. One day I met the founder of Theodora. He selected me as test for the Theodora program because they saw capability in me. Becoming part of Theodora is one of the best things that has happened to me. My life has totally turned around. I’m respected everywhere I go. My past is in my past, and I see a beautiful future with Theodora Ghana. It is our dream to transform many women’s lives because opportunities like these are hard to come by in our country. We are grateful for Theodora.
