Freetown, Sierra Leone, November 9th / PRNewswire / -- Agilix Labs has received funding from Amazon Web Services and Inc. ( AWS ) The funding is provided through AWS Education Equity Initiative to support Sierra Leone's Finder project, which utilizes artificial intelligence and cloud technology. This project is operated by Future Learning Institute ( FLI ), and was established by Agilix Labs in 2025 after reaching an agreement with the country's Ministry of Technology and Higher Education. On November 10th, FLI will officially launch the project, opening a second community learning center at the Freetown Institute of Technology.
Finder refers to a young person who will pose questions to the community. Finder will utilize artificial intelligence and combine local judgment to verify the work content, and then present a result that can be used by vendors, farmers, or teachers.
This project is aimed at young people in Sierra Leone who meet the qualifications for university admission but have not been able to secure a place to study, including young women, students with disabilities, as well as those from rural areas and low-income families.
"Our young people know their community better than anyone else," said Mustapha Turay, President of the Sierra Leone Center. "I promised myself that no matter what education I received in the United States, I would bring it back to my home. We started from Kono. Now, Freetown also has its own center."
In a one-year project, participants will take on issues from local businesses and community organizations and collaborate with artificial intelligence to provide answers. The course is run on Agilix Dawn, and it can continue to function even in the event of signal interruptions. With this funding, the participants' work involving artificial intelligence will be carried out through Amazon Bedrock on AWS.
"We founded FLI to help young people obtain job opportunities, starting with those who are ready to learn but don't have a place to do so," said Curt Allen, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Agilix Labs. "In our centers, they use artificial intelligence to serve their communities. Finder is the job we are training them for."
