A Germany-based Ghanaian woman has shared her story from a village in the Northern part of Ghana to Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a chat on Daily Hustle Worldwide, Rita Larbi revealed that their family\u2019s livelihood came from her father. Upon his death, they began to struggle financially, and as a result, Rita decided to follow a wholesaler to Ghana\u2019s capital, Accra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was 12 years old when I first came to Accra. I followed a woman who often came to our village to buy goods. My mom was not aware of it. So she sent me to her brother\u2019s house to work as a house help,\u201d Rita recounted.<\/p>\n
In her experience as a house help, Rita disclosed that some of the difficulties she went through have had a major effect on her till now. Besides her duties as a house help, Rita was expected to provide breakfast and lunch for pupils at her employer\u2019s school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked my employer\u2019s wife to allow me to study at the school to learn the alphabet at least but she denied it. The woman who brought me there also died a year later. I felt alone. I\u2019m sure that my mom taught me I was dead because I did not contact them once. I stayed there till I turned 17,\u201d she noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreover, her employer tried to have sex with her severally. Despite reporting her boss to his wife, she did not believe her.<\/p>\n

Rita eventually met an Italian man whom she got engaged to and married. Together, they travelled Europe for work, but he lived in Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe passed on in 2018, but he died in Italy. After the funeral, I came to Ghana but later went back to Germany,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rita Larbi currently works as a fashion designer. She studied at the Joyce Ababio School of Fashion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
