Single mother, Patience Budu, has been selling caramelised corn drink known locally as asaana in Tema in the Greater Accra Region for the past decade.
Budu, who previously sold pastries, works tirelessly to cater for children, including providing essentials for their education and health needs.
Speaking in an interview with SVTV Africa's DJ Nyaami, the mother of three disclosed that it has not been easy taking care of her children singlehandedly.

''It's not an easy task. I've seen my firstborn through the university and still taking care of the others. I lost my husband after our second child so I had to assume full responsibility for them,'' she said.
Budu indicated that even though she is married, she and her husband are living apart, noting that it's normal.
''My work is my husband now. It's everything to me,'' she said.
