Biography

Amos Wisseh and his wife Victoria founded J.W. Harris Foundation because they believe that knowledge is power. As a child, Victoria went to school in a primitive thatch structure, sat on a bamboo bench, and wrote on her lap. It is Amos and Victoria’s dream to help children especially young girls achieve their educational goals. They want to ensure that no child in Liberia is limited in their opportunities because of lack of education. They currently run two schools and are also involved in caring for the needs of children orphaned by the ebola crisis.
