According to Paul Akoto Agyemang, when he left Ghana, he promised his wife that he would work hard to bring her to the UK so that she could join him within two years.

However, before he could bring his wife to settle as a family, he needed to pay the debt and put other things in place.

“I was determined to pay off the debt because I had promised to bring my wife from Ghana within two years. I worked tirelessly to settle that debt, and I had bills to pay as well.”

He worked for 14 hours every day to pay his debt, which affected how often he ate in a day.

“I worked at a car wash for four months and paid £1000 to clear the debt. I only ate once a day so I could settle the debt quickly and save. I became so lean, but I remained focused.
