I set off at 8am every day and even though I have customers I go to, on some days I walk from Madina to Okponglo. Sometimes, I even go as far as American House just to ensure that my fruits are sold before I return home.

Asked how much she makes, Mavis disclosed that she makes GH¢50 in profit on a daily basis from the fruit business.

I have a child in senior high school and I give her GH¢40 every day, so I manage with the ¢10 and use that for my feeding.

She said as she toils and works hard, it is her hope and prayer that her children will one day become successful, so they can take care of her.

"I want them to have good education so they can take care of me," she added.
