• Mma Amina, a Ghanaian tabletop trader, and her late husband worked to raise their six children despite limited resources
• Through their sacrifices, the children received a quality education and are now thriving in various professions in Ghana

A Ghanaian woman and her watchman husband cared for their six children, who all became gainfully employed despite their meagre earnings.

Salamatu, fondly known as Mma Amina, worked as a tabletop trader around the Kawokudi public toilet area in Accra.

A Facebook post stated that Mma Amina sold roasted groundnuts, gari, and fruits to make ends meet. Alongside her late husband, who worked as a watchman, she poured her energy into providing for her family.

Through years of hard work, Mma Amina and her husband raised their children, ensuring they received quality education. Today, those children are thriving in various professions, a reflection of the sacrifices their parents made.

In 2018, Mma Amina began experiencing health challenges, prompting her children to step in. After decades of hard work, they decided it was time for her to rest.

"We told her it's time for her to rest for us to take over and try to give her the best of care," Mariam Kombate, one of her daughters said.

Unfortunately, Mma Amina's husband passed away some years back, making it impossible to enjoy the fruits of his labour.

Out of the six children, two are police officers, one is a prison officer, one is an engineer, and one is a nurse and an entrepreneur.
