About Naai Community

Naai Community, dubbed as Naai City, comprises of several rural Kpelle villages located in Suakoko District, Bong County, in upper Liberia. The community comprises of Naai Town, Jimmy Korkollie-ta, Kpelemu, Molonkai, Vilayea and Albert Harris Village. The exact origins of Naai Community is not formally documented, but oral history strongly credits Dormeyan Nutah as a founding figure. Many community members consistently refer to him as one of Naai’s earliest leaders, and his legacy endures today through the naming of the community’s school, the Dormeyan Nutah Public School. Located at approximately Latitude 6.9503° (6° 57′ 1″ N) and Longitude -9.54013° (9° 32′ 25″ W).

Naai aims to achieve full city status by 2050, with the qualification process currently underway and expected to align with the community’s Vision 2050 goals. The town is home to Dormeyan Nutah Public School, an elementary institution serving approximately 200 students, both male and female. Naai also hosts three churches, three functional boreholes supplying water to residents, many concrete and mud-constructed residences, and a town hall. The Village of Jimmy Korkollie-ta features well-constructed standard public bathrooms and a single borehole well. The community though lacks a healthcare facility, has two registered nurses that hail from the community. The broader community landscape includes several isolated forest areas, contributing to its natural environment and resource potential.

The community is accessible via a motorable dirt road, though it is heavily affected by potholes, linking Naai to Suakoko City. Travel to the area is possible by motor vehicle, motorcycle, or even by air.
