The Cavalla River (Nuwon): A Source of Life and Opportunity
The Cavalla River (Nuwon), in Nimba County, is far more than a river. It is a vital artery of history, culture, and agriculture for Liberia and its people. Rising north of Mount Nimba, the Cavalla River (Nuwon) forms part of the natural boundary between Liberia and Guinea before flowing gracefully through Nimba County along the Ivory Coast border, continuing its journey southward to Zwedru in Grand Gedeh County.
Much like the Nile River of Egypt, which nourished one of the world’s earliest civilizations, the Cavalla River is a life-giving force with the power to transform societies. Every year, its floodplain renews itself, leaving behind fertile soils rich in organic nutrients. These bottomlands, stretching extensively through Gbehlay Geh, Towh River District, and beyond, have sustained communities for generations and hold the promise of becoming a new agricultural heartland for Liberia.
Fertile Soil, Organic Promise – Cavalla River (Nuwon)
The annual floods of the Cavalla River bring new life to the valley, depositing nutrient-rich sediments that transform the bottomlands into some of Liberia’s most productive farmland. This natural process mirrors the Nile’s historic role in Egypt, where floodplains gave rise to abundant harvests and supported an enduring civilization. With modern approaches, the Cavalla River can play a similar role in shaping a prosperous agricultural future for Liberia.
However, irrigation systems are urgently needed to maximize this potential. Harnessing the Cavalla’s waters for year-round farming would allow Liberia to fully utilize these fertile bottomlands, reduce reliance on food imports, and establish a consistent supply chain for organic exports.
Mr. George Weamie’s Vision – Cavalla River (Nuwon) Farming
Mr. George Z. Weamie, a co-founder of Z & Z Wodoe Enterprise LLC, has taken the first steps to unlock this potential. He has begun organic food production on the fertile bottomlands of Nimba, with a vision to establish processing facilities that will transform raw crops into high-value products ready for international markets.
This initiative strengthens Liberia’s agricultural base and creates employment, income, and long-term sustainability for local communities. By focusing on organic farming and investing in irrigation infrastructure, Z & Z Wodoe Enterprise LLC aims to put Liberia on the global map as a supplier of high-quality organic foods.
A Bridge Between Heritage and Global Markets
The Cavalla River is more than just water—it is heritage, opportunity, and the future. By leveraging the fertile soils of Nuwon, much like the Nile sustained Egypt, Z & Z Wodoe Enterprise LLC is building a bridge that connects traditional farming practices with modern agribusiness. The outcome is a stronger Liberia, where agriculture drives both economic growth and food security.
“As Nuwon flows from Mount Nimba through our homeland, it nourishes not only our fields but also our dreams. With irrigation and innovation, we can transform this gift into prosperity for our people and future generations.”
