Mohammad Shethwala and his wife, Sadikabanu Tapeliwala, were a young couple with a dream, selling everything they had and borrowing money from neighbours to fund a move from India to Britain, where Tapeliwala had been admitted for a master’s at Ulster University’s London campus.

She graduated in 2023, the same year they had their first child, Fatima, and both husband and wife found enough work to slowly build a life together, even sending small amounts back home to support the family and friends who had believed in them.
