She felt a sense of belonging and comfort whenever she was in Ghana but many people asked her what would happen to her children’s education since she was relocating.

Before relocating to Ghana, Gifty Ntiamoah said she travelled to Canada with her children for three months. They then came to Ghana in August 2024 so the children could start school.

Gifty said they are staying in Ghana to see if they fit into the system. That will enable them to decide whether to move back, according to her.

As a way of earning income, she has set up an online clinic where she diagnoses and prescribes medicine to her patients. This will allow her to work from anywhere in the world while enjoying the peace she wants.
