However, she found it difficult to reconcile her comparatively privileged life in the UK with the poverty and hardship suffered by many people in her home country of Ghana. Anita felt a growing urge to do something tangible to improve the situation in her home country. Finally, she saw a report about the exploitation of children at the Volta Dam in Ghana. Children were forced to work in the fishing industry under life-threatening conditions. Anita could no longer tolerate this suffering.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row justify-content-md-center\" data-sal=\"slide-up\" data-sal-easing=\"ease-in-out\" data-sal-delay=\"200\"><div class=\"cnt_col\">\n<p>As a result, she left her secure job in England in 2015 and returned to Ghana.
