About

The Late David G. Moore

Many years ago, missionaries traveled to the town of Behn in District No. 4, Newcess, Grand Bassa County. They asked Behn Gbiahgba, the grandfather of our founder, to allow one of his sons to attend a boarding school for an education. That son was David G. Moore. That decision changed the course of a family—and ultimately a community. From that opportunity came a legacy of leadership, service, and a deep belief in the power of education.

Honoring Hon. David G. Moore

Years later, as a strong believer in the power of foundational education and the importance of giving back, Hon. David G. Moore returned to Newcess with a vision—to expand opportunity for others. In 1972, he established the Newcess Elementary Public School on land he donated, creating access to education for children in the community.

His planned expansions included:

• A junior high section
• A high school
• Boarding facilities to serve students from surrounding areas
• A community clinic to provide basic healthcare services

However, his passing in 1982, followed by the civil crisis in 1990, prevented that vision from being fully realized. Today, the community has grown—and so has the need.

Honoring Felicia J. Moore

Alongside him, Felicia J. Moore, a nurse, devoted her life to caring for others and serving the health needs of the community. Her commitment to compassion and care continues to inspire the Foundation's mission to restore access to healthcare services.
