Wallace International Incorporated, a Liberian-owned firm headquartered in the United States, has announced a US$3 million investment that promises to transform lives in Grand Gedeh County following high-level consultation with elders, local authority and youth. At the heart of the plan is a modern digitized library worth US$1 million powered by solar energy and staffed for round-the-clock access. The facility will serve students, faculty, and researchers with thousands of digital books, journals, and resources.
It will also be named in honor of Eva Youboty-Wallace as a way of celebrating her passion for education. Another version of the same quality of library and computer center will be built for Ziah Town, Konobo District and will be located at the Ziah Town Central High School.
The second project is the Ma Anna Youboty-Sancea Market Center in Zwedru and Ma Tahyornoh Youboty-Dweh Market Center in Ziah Town Konobo District. They are budgeted at $1 million. Unlike Zwedru’s current facilities, the new complex will feature a parking lot, electricity, restrooms, a sewage system, and eco-friendly waste disposal. The Wallaces describe it as a commercial hub not just for Grand Gedeh, but for the entire southeast.
The third pillar of the initiative is a modern housing project, valued at US$1 million aimed at easing future housing shortages in Grand Gedeh. With population growth rising steadily, the Wallace believes investing in homes now is a way to ensure dignity and stability for families.
The Wallace International US$3 Million Investment is undertaken by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ceslaus Wallace, Sr. and wife, Mrs. Eva Youboty-Wallace who hailed from Grand Gedeh County. Providing an overview of the project and reasons behind the investment, Mr. Ceslaus Wallace Sr., Chief Executive Officer of the group, said he and his wife’s decision is more than business.
Sharing inspiration behind the dream, he noted that the home seeds of this bold venture were planted during a vacation in 2019, when they visited Liberia and held conversation with local leaders who encouraged them to channel their success abroad into investments at home.
“Following our meeting with the local leaders we went home and thought about what they told us about the suggestion to invest in Liberia, precisely Grand Gedeh County. We reviewed our business model, held consultations, and today, we are ready to invest,” the couple reflected. With groundbreaking plans across three critical sectors, Wallace International’s investment is more than dollars and infrastructure; it’s a promise of opportunity, growth, and renewed pride for Grand Gedeh and Liberia as a whole.
