BACKGROUND

On October 14, 2007, a few citizens of Grand Bassa County, along with several friends of Liberia, met in Port St. Lucie, Florida with common objectives in mind. This union would ultimately form the Grand Bassa County Association in America (GBCAA) to address the critical needs of the county and its people. While GBCAA has made great strides in addressing the needs of Grand Bassa County, there is much work to do to alleviate its most critical necessities: health, education, and social services. 

MISSION STATEMENT

The Mission of the Grand Bassa County Association in America is to commit ourselves to human development in facilitating education, economic development, health care, social services, and advocacy for Grand Bassa County, for Liberia, and for the African continent as a whole. Although our focus remains on Grand Bassa County, specifically, and Liberia, generally, we seek to promote unity among all nations in Africa as we advocate for human and economic growth. Our long-term partnership with Indian River State College has allowed for GBCAA to meet the needs of Liberia and of the Treasure Coast through social, economic, and health programs. 

 We praise the Almighty God and humanity for our ability to meaningfully contribute to the national development of Liberia and for our successes as a non-profit, non-political, and non-governmental organization.

IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECTIVES

On October 14, 2007, our general assembly voted unanimously to undertake the construction of (3) rural clinics in Grand Bassa County, outside of Buchanan, over the next ten years. The general Assembly voted on this project based on the following historical context. Since the inception of the Republic, there has been no established adequate health facility to cater to the needs of the entire region.
