Founded 1991

United Bassa Organizations in the Americas

UNIBOA brings Bassa people and their chapters across the United States together to serve Grand Bassa, Rivercess, Margibi and Montserrado through education, healthcare and culture.

One people, four counties, many chapters

UNIBOA grew out of the Bassa Progressive League, founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1972. In April 1991 the national body took the name United Bassa Organizations in the Americas.

Our vision is to make the Bassa-speaking counties a better environment for our people, and for all Liberians who live there, through committed work in education and healthcare.

What we work on

Programs for members in the United States and for communities at home in Liberia.

UNIBOA Empowerment Center

A proposed center to be built in the four Bassa counties, beginning with Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, to empower young Bassa citizens and be a source of enlightenment for the greater community.
