The Wahblojah Foundation for Development is a non-profit, non-political charity foundation serving Grand Bassa County and the Republic of Liberia — supporting persons with disabilities and the less privileged, young and old, through many disciplines, while advancing community initiatives, civic awareness, and human and infrastructural development for the county and the country.
Wahblojah exists to lift people and move Liberia forward — beginning at home in Grand Bassa. We are a charity foundation: we stand with persons with disabilities, with less-privileged children, and with the young and the old who need a hand, across many disciplines. And we build for tomorrow through community initiatives, civic awareness, and human and infrastructural development. We do not believe in grand promises. We believe in help that actually arrives, a promise that is publicly kept, and a person who gets a real chance. Our work is planned with the community, led from the ground in Buchanan, and measured by what is finished — not what is announced.
"Independence is not a memory we celebrate once a year. It is work we do every day."
This foundation was not born yesterday. For nearly a decade, the same leadership has been doing the same work — quietly, faithfully, on the ground in Grand Bassa County.
Established in Grand Bassa County as the Yallah and Leon Foundation for Development — a charity serving persons with disabilities and the less privileged of our communities.
The foundation became the Wahblojah Foundation for Development — a new name carrying the same mission, under the same leadership that continues to serve today.
We stand with those our society too often leaves behind. Through charitable support across many disciplines, the Foundation helps persons with disabilities and less-privileged members of our communities live with dignity, access opportunity, and be counted.
From less-privileged kids who deserve a chance at education, to elders who deserve care and respect — Wahblojah serves every generation. Help should not depend on your age; it should depend on your need.
Strong communities are informed communities. We organize community initiatives and civic awareness programs that help citizens know their rights, engage constructively, and hold public promises to account — with attention, not anger.
For the county and the country: we invest in people — skills, digital literacy, and enterprise — and we champion the infrastructure Bassa people depend on, because human development and physical development must rise together.
BFI is the Foundation's flagship civic initiative — launched in Grand Bassa County and run by Bassa people, in Bassa, for Bassa. It carries three pillars: Digital Empowerment; Civic Accountability and Community Action; and Youth and Enterprise Development — brought to life through free workshops, community action, and youth programs across the county.
The Wahblojah Foundation for Development is a non-profit charity foundation, and the Foundation and the Bassa Forward Initiative are not political movements. We will never endorse or oppose any candidate or political party. Our accountability work applies equally to whoever holds office: we praise delivery and question delay, regardless of party. Our only politics is potholes, classrooms, and opportunity for the people of Grand Bassa and Liberia.
Every officer of the Foundation lives and serves in Grand Bassa County, Liberia. The same leadership has carried this work since 2018.
A son of Grand Bassa, Elijah leads the Wahblojah Foundation as a charity for his people — turning opportunity abroad into help and development at home. He is also CEO and Founder of Wiles Digital Group LLC, a Liberian software company building technology for Liberia and beyond. His credentials include an Associate degree in IT Security Networking, Mastery certifications in ChatGPT AI and Claude AI, and a BSc in Cybersecurity from Wilmington University (graduating June 2027).
Elkanah leads the Foundation's day-to-day work on the ground — coordinating programs, volunteers, and community partnerships in Buchanan and across Grand Bassa. Every Wahblojah program is planned with the community and delivered under his direction, because development that lasts is development that is led from home.

Charity that arrives looks like this: food reaching elders and persons with disabilities, sanitary materials handed to townships, and young people given a team to belong to. These photos span our years of service — including our early work under the Yallah and Leon name.
More photos are added as our programs continue.
Teachers, tech-minded people, organizers, elders, students — every pillar needs Bassa hands. Join a workshop team or help lead a program in your community.
Schools, churches, mosques, businesses, and community groups: host a workshop, co-run a youth day, or bring a program to your district.
