The citizens of B'hai Administrative District in Grand Gedeh County, Liberia, have come together to form the ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION, a non-partisan umbrella group aimed at promoting unity and driving development in the district. The organization was established after extensive consultations with stakeholders across Liberia and the global diaspora. According to a press statement, the formation of the organization is a collective effort to build on the district's shared lineage, rich cultural traditions, and economic potential. The ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION is headed by a Steering Committee led by Amos Zleh, a prominent community leader and former senatorial candidate.
The ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION aims to overcome historical bottlenecks that have hindered cohesive regional progress in the district. For years, fragmented efforts have limited the district's development, but the new organization seeks to change this narrative. The Steering Committee, led by Mr. Zleh, is optimistic about the prospects of the organization, noting that there is an unprecedented wave of excitement across communities both at home and abroad. The organization seeks to consolidate community strength, preserve cultural heritage, and aggressively pursue a transformative socio-economic agenda for the district.
A major milestone for the organization is the upcoming four-day convention in Toe City from December 18 to 21, 2026. The convention will feature strategic business sessions, storytelling, and cultural celebrations, and will be attended by thousands of delegates, sons, daughters, and international partners. During the convention, delegates will hold a high-level assembly to debate regional priorities and sign the historic Toe City Communiqué, a strategic roadmap detailing the district's long-term development agenda.
The Toe City Communiqué is expected to set the district's development agenda, leveraging its strategic position as a gateway into Grand Gedeh County from Nimba County and sharing an international frontier with Côte d'Ivoire. The district's unique geography makes it an economic corridor for regional commerce, agriculture, and cross-border trade. The ONE B'HAI initiative aims to leverage this geographic advantage to attract infrastructural investments, enhance educational opportunities, and empower local economic networks.
B'hai Administrative District comprises 12 major towns, with its headquarters in Toe City. The district has a rich cultural heritage and significant economic potential, but has historically seen little development. The formation of the ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION marks a turning point in the district's history, as citizens seek to speak with one unified voice to drive development. The organization has garnered support from across Liberia and the diaspora, with massive mobilization efforts currently underway.
The convention in Toe City will also feature an oral history and heritage forum, where esteemed elders will share the origin, migration, traditions, and socio-economic legacy of the B'hai people within Grand Gedeh County. Additionally, inter-community athletic competitions, traditional performances, music, and social celebrations will take place to cement solidarity among youth and elders alike. The event is expected to be a triumphant turnout, with thousands of delegates and international partners in attendance.
The ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION's efforts to drive development in the district have been welcomed by citizens, who are eager to see long-overdue development become a reality. The organization's Steering Committee, led by Mr. Zleh, is committed to ensuring that the district's development agenda is realized. With its unique geography and rich cultural heritage, the district has significant potential for growth and development, and the ONE B'HAI ORGANIZATION is poised to play a key role in driving this progress.
