People talk a lot about doctors and hospitals in Gambia. Many stories on the internet tell us about sick people who did not receive good care. This makes many families very sad.
A woman went to a special doctor's office because her toe hurt. She stayed there for three days but never saw a doctor. Her family paid thirty thousand dalasis for nothing. The woman did not feel better at all.
The same woman later went to another doctor's office. They had to cut off her leg, and her family paid seventy thousand dalasis. Two days after she went home, she died. Her family feels very upset because they spent more than one hundred thousand dalasis trying to help her.
Someone found a sick man lying near a big building in Banjul. He stayed there...
A big group that watches how honest countries are shared their report yesterday. They said The Gambia scored 38 points out of 100, which made it number 96 in a list of 180 countries. The country next door, Senegal, did better and came in at number 69.
Many countries around the world have big problems with people being dishonest. Most countries scored less than 50 points, which shows they need to work harder at stopping people from taking what does not belong to them. The average score for all countries stayed at 43 points. These low scores make it hard for countries to fight climate change.
African countries south of the Sahara desert had the lowest scores of any place in the world. Their average score was only 33 points. Almost all...
A leader in the Gambia wants young people to help make their country better instead of saying mean things about President Barrow and his team. Mr. Ebrima Sillah discussed this after he looked at new roads being built across the country.
Mr. Sillah said things cost less money in Gambia than in other nearby countries. He asked people who complained about high prices what they were doing to help make things cheaper. He said no place beats high prices when people stay home and refuse to work.
He noticed many people from other countries working on the new roads. These workers earn at least 700 dalasis each day. Mr. Sillah wondered why more Gambians did not want these jobs. He said the government spends lots of money on roads, but most of...
A group of 25 women from Gambia will travel to Saudi Arabia next week, and another 25 will join them soon after. These women will work in Saudi Arabia for two years.
The women learned many important things before their big trip. People from job offices taught them about life in Saudi Arabia. They learned about the weather and how people live there. This helped the women feel ready for their new jobs.
Mr. Fabba Jammeh works at the jobs office. He said this trip made history because these women were the first Gambian workers to go to Saudi Arabia. He thinks almost 5,000 Gambian people will work there soon. The new rules from last year ensure everyone stays safe when they work in other countries.
The women will earn good money in their...

Zimbabwe wants to make better money that people can use more easily. Their bank will change the look of their ZiG money to make it stronger. This will help everyone who buys and sells things in Zimbabwe.
People started using ZiG money last April. It worked well, but some people said the small money notes became dirty and torn very fast. The ZiG10 and ZiG20 notes would break and fade, which made it hard for people to pay for things.
Banks need money that stays nice and clean. When money becomes old and torn, banks must spend a lot of money to make new notes. Shop owners said they had trouble counting the torn money, which made people worry about using it.
The bank listened to what everyone said about the money. Dr John Mushayavanhu...
The leader of a group that helps American businesses in South Africa wants people to stay calm during a fight with President Trump. Mr. Kuseni Dlamini says both countries need each other, and everyone should think carefully about what to do next.
President Trump made South Africa angry last Friday. He stopped giving money to help sick people in South Africa. He said South Africa did bad things with land and didn't agree with him about Israel. South Africa answered back nicely and said they wanted to fix any problems by talking.
The biggest problem is that many sick people might not receive their medicine anymore. The medicine costs R7,5 billion, and this money helped lots of people feel better.
Mr. Dlamini speaks for 600 American...
The police want to find the people who own Keacy Motor Spares. These owners made fake car brake liquid and glue in their shop on Harare Street and sold them to people who didn't know they weren't real.
The police had already caught two workers, Selina Nyurwa and Ashley Kasambarara. Someone told the police that a company on Bristol Road was selling fake car parts. The police went there and found lots of boxes. They found 8,800 pieces of fake glue and 26,000 bottles of fake brake liquid.

The price of gold fluctuated greatly after President Trump made new rules about buying metal from other countries. Gold reached its highest price ever, at $2,942 for a small piece, but then it dropped back down.
Trump told everyone on Monday that starting in March, companies must pay more money to bring steel and aluminum into America. He thinks this will help American companies make more metal and give more jobs to Americans. He even said these extra costs might become bigger later.
People really want gold this year. Its price has gone up by 11 percent because Trump keeps making big changes that make people worried about their money. When people feel unsure about what will happen, they often buy gold to keep their money safe.
