Your intelligent and ability and the work you’re doing for GAMBIA really impresses me and you encourage me to keep up the good work, my dear you are doing so well. I am proud of you my adopted daughter.❤
Thank you sis, well said. Your analysis on investment in the Gambia as for now is true. We need to enhance and elevate the already existing stagnant structures in place. Thanks for your contributions. Bless you.
I love this woman's philosophy of being oriented towards solutions.. Honestly, in my opinion I think in some places its better to create a foundation or non - profit ( NGO) that uses grants, aid , and fundraising to fill in the gaps. Creating a for profit business in a place that does very little to nurture business growth coupled with limited purchase power will likely strangle most businesses
Oh Zenzi this why I love your videos Always informative, useful and so willing to share useful knowledge to others. Not selfish and look at problem solving. Excellent! Keep doing what you do. So appreciate it ❤
This might be a useful solution to develop, personal and home cooling. If a person has a refrigerator or if the environment has cool nighttime temperatures below 65F this method will allow the development a method for cooling. See the following video by NightHawkInLight "DIY Supermaterial Could Save You From Heatstroke: Salt based PCMs". It illustrates how to make a simple product using vacuum bags, towels, sheets, or blankets to make a large cooling cover which can be used in various ways to cool someone, for example cooling a seat, a cooling vest to be worn on a hot day, placed before a fan it can cool the air while a person sleeps etc. I hope that this helps.
Can you guide a friend on how to contact the medical science department he has two medical plants books of mines told him to start a medical garden am back in the USA trying to get back have things here i need to take care of. sorry my name is novella
Well said Mrs Secka! We have to solve problems and add value. The hospital business you have mentioned is well thought! It’s like an untapped supply and an unaddressed demand. It will be an effective solution to a problem that needs addressing i think.//Hunter 🙂
Interesting idea Zandela and a well thought out possible business idea however have u thought why hospitals don't provide food services as i feel it's actually a simple thing for them to implement or outsource. I guess you're thinking with your UK hat on. In Ghana there are many cases of people being refused to leave hospitals because they can't afford to pay their hospital bills and families will cook from home and bring food. I guess only the middle class or wealthy in private hospitals would be able to afford any hospital food program. But hey nothing ventured nothing gained i guess..
Unfortunately, most diasporans returnees only target middle and upper class markets because that's the class they're aspiring to be and mingle with. Most of them tend to be indifferent to the struggles of most African ppl, who aren't members of said class. This is one of the many reasons they aren't always welcomed into whatever communities they settle in because they're more individualistic than communal.
@@everythingispolitics6526 I don't view it as indifference. People tend to integrate themselves in space that is similar to who they are and their life experiences. I feel like it takes a great deal of immersion to understand needs in most African countries because they look nothing like "western" countries. Even the most poor individual in say America, will have access to some type of resource that am impoverished African does not. It's a matter of resources and exposure. Alot of Africans arent exactly embracing of newness either, I've been married into a Nigerian family for over 20 years. Quite stubborn about any new way of doing things which adds to the divide.
I am a Ghanaian and I am sorry but this idea to provide hospital food will not work! I don't know if you are aware that, very unfortunately in hospitals in West Africa patients pay for medication , gloves everything upfront!. Their families who are already having difficulty paying for all these things ,are looking for the cheapest food they can find and that is the local very cheap street food ! How much are you going to charge for your food to generate what a Westerner would consider profitable ? The wealthy have servants at home who will cook food and bring .Also there is a traditional food that people believe will strengthen them when they are in the hospital and that is what they cook .
I think a lot of us in "Western" societies don't understand just how blatantly divided classes are in other places because we have access to alot, even if we are considered "poor" where we live. Access is everything, we have great ideas and mean well but we really have to immerse in the communities to understand what need really looks like.
@@ThePinkPantha21 Exactly ! In many so called third world countries majority of the population are surviving from day to day .There is NO disposable income and just enough money if they are lucky to pay for the bare essentials of life !
@@ThePinkPantha21 I live in the village with my family by marriage I have lived here for 3 years and have not only had in laws in hospital but also friends who are Gambian and this is where I came up with the idea because people here complain about the lack of access to food around the hospitals and hospitals not providing food, as well as not always having transport to take food to the hospital 2 or 3 times a day. it is not because they have seen it in the west (most haven’t traveled) The thought behind this didn’t come from hospital experiences in the UK it came from what I have seen here and trying to find a solution. However my western experience sparked creating a video about it and also sharing hospital experiences from the west with my friends, family and followers here. If someone from the west comes up with a solution or an idea it doesn’t always mean it won’t work here it just means the structure, system and affordability of the plan may have to change to suit the need of the community as a whole and not just the individuals with a higher income. Everyone deserves access to decent food in hospitals.
@@zandelalifestylebusinessHmmm good idea but I see this business idea of serving food to patients working well and being profitable in private hospitals.Most patients in Government hospitals are poor and can't afford it.
Good Morning Zandela what a critical subject I greatly Respect which is what Africa entrepreneurs to deliberate on and work it out. I am from South Africa the point you are raising is applicable here in the South.
This is solid advice. I learnt alot by putting my ears to the ground and found the need in the community. My product sold out faster than I could keep up. I also discovered that I need a business that gives me daily turn over and a high end one that I show up at a farmers market and make a killing every two weeks. I added to it rental income and boom! So small daily returns , luxury goods for farmers markets and monthly passive income.
@@innocentnwafor4396 not food packaging but food production. The community where I was had a market for an underwhelming and cheaply chemically produced food. Having being in the food industry I did some back homework and created a farm to table organic version of it and that’s where I hit the right client base.

Good idea in principle, but a nightmare to make a business case out of this. 98% of hospital patients there as the majority population has next to zero purchasing power. The level of management skills required for this and staff honesty for this to a business is not there. Good luck to the brave soul trying this.
Hello, do you live in Gambia? 90% of Gambians buy their breakfast on the street. No one cooks or prepares breakfast at home like we did in Europe they buy bread with some sort of filling, small local street food sellers are everywhere and make huge combined sales on D100 dishes with people lining up breakfast and lunch time everywhere you go. It is not as complicated as you think it’s is very simple based on how food is sold here right now. When a patient is in hospital and needs breakfast their family member simply go outside to the street vendors, line up, get the food and go back inside but that is the problem if your family are not there the staff are not going outside to get you food. However it will require a coordinator, a sales rep, the cooks, the delivery staff etc. don’t all food base services require staffing and organization logistics? it’s a business not a hobby your trying to create.. We look at solutions not problems and a service starting with only 150 patience is not complicated we are not talking about 1500 meals.
Hello Z, no, I do not live there but I have been there many years ago. You are right about the large number of food sellers about especially for breakfast and lunch! In a sense, yes, one could make a profit out of it, but at what cost. Selling food to hospital patients requires a lot of care, patient info, hygiene standards, etc. The legal and insurance risk will be so high I can't see how one could manage that successfully without cutting corners! A lot of the food sold in the street does not meet proper hygiene standards. Secondly, a lot of it is either high in fat, high in salt, or high in sugar, and god know what other bacteria! Give that to the wrong hospital patient, and you are likely to give them their final goodbye. The sad thing is nothing will come out of it. But the avarage gambian has acquired a taste for fatty, salty or sugary food. How do you wean them of this in hospitals? I used to be amazed seeing Gambians eating bread in the morning with a dollop of butter spread all over in that heat! It made me wonder why in most places I went, especially in govt offices people seem sleepy, slow and disinterested unless you show them money! Would have loved to visit your Smile restaurant before it closed. Keep going, you are doing so well. I do follow you!
I 100% agree and that’s part of the problem the quality of food from street vendors that people are eating. Many think family cook and bring but many do just buy from street vendors and that is definitely no good for any sick patients. The bread and room temp rice/meat is a recipe for disaster to many who are not sick so I can only imagine how it contributes towards the sick attempting to heal. All we can do is try and implement the changes here and pray it catching so traction because god knows the food in UK hospitals is definitely not of a high quality either.
I still believe you even have to go to African countries which have enough spending powers for your business. I have never been to Gambia iam ugandan. The only country i know more of in west africa is Nigeria. In east Africa sll 4 countries including rwanda are capable of supporting alot businesses.
@@johnsonolajide4647 😂 I don’t think her comment was meant to be a teaching moment. However you did learn that she was the first to comment so we remain positive on the teachings 😂
@@zandelalifestylebusiness Zandela you're too much, (lol) I watched this video this morning. Again you have given all of us very good advice. I have been thinking about a plastic and paper recycling business. Sadly I came out to the Gambia to retire from the rat race. (how much money do I need?) I say recycling because I believe such a business would turn a good profit like you I live in the Gambia and have done so for 4 and half years left the UK same as you. All the rubbish on the roadside is a real sight for sore eyes. if the country had a recycling plant that specialised in plastic and paper products, it would be a win-win for those who collected the rubbish and the recycling plant owner. at the same time cleaning up the road sides.
Well there are hundreds of us and we seem to be ok. In the 4yrs I’ve been here and some for 10-15yrs only been one fatal incident committed by a non-Gambian. I would say yes it’s fairly safe here. A lot more safe than the UK or US for women without any doubt
@@zandelalifestylebusinessMany people were always thinking that western world's are more safer than Africa continent, which is not true at all. I lived in Sydney Australia. No a single a day will pass in Australia without a news of someone is being killed in Australia. There's no single society that's free from crime. Anywhere that you find human beings there must be crime simple as that. The differences is that some countries have low crime rate, while some countries have higher crime rate
Depends, if you’re with family or a partner it’s ok but I noticed as soon as I wasn’t it became unsafe so I decided to leave after 2 years. There’s a few stories I heard before and after I left Gambia , but I do miss Gambia I just hope the government will knuckle down and make Gambia the dream again as it’s a special place despite a few negatives.
Hello am planning to buy a piece of land in ganjur Gambia but am on able to fly at this moment can i purchased this land without been there am living in the uk
My advice to you as a good heart person. Please don't buy any land in Africa without seeing the land by yourself. Most people there were not honest and reliable. Unless if you don't mind to lose your money. I'm a Nigerian living in Australia. I want also to buy some land in Africa. But I must be on the ground to see the land do some research about the land before paying for the land.
I think it would be best to delete your question, in case land scammers see it. Buying land is a big undertaking in any place in the world. My advice is not even entertain land purchases. try and come out to the Gambia and please do your research I said please do your research. A few rouge Gambians will take your money and not deliver While many repats are now in the land-selling business some of these new land estate agents are worse. Visit the country and try and stay as long as you can. visit Gunjor to see if you can really live there. As for me, I presently live in the Gambia four miles from Gunjor I've been here for the last five years,. don't come out here if you lack strength physical and mental. Africa is not a joke. But it is a lovely place to live for the adventurous and strong. Good luck
I agree 100% with @johnsonolajide4647 my honest opinion is do not buy land without seeing and doing all ALL of the pre purchase checks directly with the physical planning department. I will definitely be doing a land video soon but land scamming is endless and comes from so many unexpected angles that even the companies and services that you expect to be honest and do the right checks turn out to be part of the scam. I’m very solution focused and I cannot find a solution for the government or individuals when it comes to some of these scams. I have land and have done all the checks but I’m blessed as my husband worked at physical planning for a very long time and never does anything with land unless it’s 100% certain to be conflict free. If your in UK wait for the cheap flights come out here and try to buy land when in the ground.
Hi Zandela. Good day to you over there. I've been following you since your arrival in Gambia. I'm currently living in Sydney Australia. And i want to relocate back to Africa. I visited some countries in Africa last year including Gambia. And i want to come back to Gambia again in a few months now. Please how can i contact you for Consultation? Or your email address. Thank you very much.
Hi John, I will definitely be available for relocation consultants again soon. Please bear with me and I will aim to post more information within the next month. Thanks

Buying land is a big undertaking in any place in the world. My advice is not even entertain land purchases. try and come out to the Gambia and please do your research I said please do your research. A few rouge Gambians will take your money and not deliver While many repats are now in the land-selling business some of these new land estate agents are worse.
Visit the country and try and stay as long as you can. visit Gunjor to see if you can really live there. As for me, I presently live in the Gambia four miles from Gunjor I've been here for the last five years,. don't come out here if you lack strength physical and mental.
Africa is not a joke. But it is a lovely place to live for the adventurous and strong. Good luck
I agree 100% with @johnsonolajide4647 my honest opinion is do not buy land without seeing and doing all ALL of the pre purchase checks directly with the physical planning department. I will definitely be doing a land video soon but land scamming is endless and comes from so many unexpected angles that even the companies and services that you expect to be honest and do the right checks turn out to be part of the scam. I’m very solution focused and I cannot find a solution for the government or individuals when it comes to some of these scams. I have land and have done all the checks but I’m blessed as my husband worked at physical planning for a very long time and never does anything with land unless it’s 100% certain to be conflict free. If your in UK wait for the cheap flights come out here and try to buy land when in the ground.
NEVER..NEVER BUY LAND IN AFRICA IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE COUNTRY. THE RISK IS TOO BIG.
You will 90 percent be scammed...10 percent chance of getting your land, facts.
