But Doris was determined to build. In 2018, she came to Ghana to buy land from a lawyer. She had planned to buy two plots of land and bought four parcels of land.

Fortunately, her cousin was based in Ghana and oversaw the construction while Doris was away in the UK.

In the video on Africa building hub, Doris said it had taken her five years to complete the building, and she is looking forward to coming to Ghana in December 2023 to stay in her home for the first time.
