Ghanaian Entrepreneur in Lithuania, Dorcas of Maxdorc Kitchen, Shares Life, Love, and Work Challenges Abroad
Dorcas, the CEO of Maxdorc Kitchen based in Lithuania, recently appeared on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide with DJ Nyaami, where she opened up about her experiences living and working abroad, as well as her search for love
According to Dorcas, after her first appearance on the show where she mentioned she was looking for a man to marry, her phone and social media were flooded with messages from men across the world — including Australia, Africa, and even Northern Ghana.
However, none of those connections led anywhere.
“Most of the men who reached out were just pretending,” she said. “No matter how much people fake it, you can always see the truth in their lies. Many women ignore red flags and end up falling for the wrong men or getting into bad marriages.”
Dorcas revealed that she is currently in communication with two men — one in Malaysia and another in Dubai — but is taking her time to get to know them properly.
She also shared insights about life and job opportunities in Lithuania, explaining that truck and trailer drivers are currently in high demand. However, immigration policies make it difficult for foreigners to secure stable employment even when companies are willing to hire them.
“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that Lithuania needs foreign workers, but the immigration system is still very strict,” Dorcas explained. “If you get a three-month visa and arrive in Lithuania, you’re already in their system and can easily find a job.”
Dorcas further discussed the challenges many foreign workers face in Lithuania. She noted that some visa sponsorship companies exploit employees by withholding their pay until debts are settled.
“Some drivers receive as little as €300 a month, which is unfair because they have families back home depending on them,” she lamented. “Some workers, after paying off their debts, change companies to earn better salaries, while others lose patience and run away to countries like Denmark.”
Despite these hardships, Dorcas encouraged Ghanaians to consider studying in Lithuania, especially those interested in pursuing master’s degrees.
“If you’re a master’s student, you can bring your husband and children to Lithuania,” she said. “The tuition fees are affordable, and once you’re admitted, your residence permit won’t be denied.”
Through her story, Dorcas sheds light on both the opportunities and struggles of Ghanaians abroad, while reminding others to stay vigilant in love and hopeful in their pursuit of success.
