Freetown, Sierra Leone, November 9, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Under the framework of the AWS Education Equity Initiative, Agilix Labs has been granted permission to use the artificial intelligence and cloud technology of Amazon Web Services, Inc. ( AWS ) for its Finder project in Sierra Leone. This project is operated by Future Learning Institute (Future Learning Institute, abbreviated as FLI ). FLI was established by Agilix Labs in 2025 after reaching an agreement with the country's Ministry of Technology and Higher Education. On November 10, FLI will officially launch this project and open its second community learning center at the Freetown Institute of Technology.
"Researchers" refer to the young people who pose questions to the community. These researchers use artificial intelligence that possesses the ability to make judgments based on local realities to verify the work content and provide results that can be utilized 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, including young women, students with disabilities, as well as those from rural areas and low-income families.
"Our young people understand their own community better than anyone else," said Mustapha Turay, President of the Sierra Leone Center. "I promised to give back all the training I received in the United States to my homeland. We started from Kono. Now, Freetown also has its own center."
During a one-year project period, participants will use artificial intelligence to answer questions posed by local businesses and community groups. The course is distributed and managed through the Agilix Dawn platform, allowing it to continue running even in cases of signal interruption. This authorization enables participants to utilize the Amazon Bedrock service of AWS to carry out artificial intelligence-based work.
"We founded FLI to help young people find jobs, starting with those who are already ready to learn but lack the right conditions," said Curt Allen, co-founder and CEO of Agilix Labs. "At our centers, they use artificial intelligence to provide services to the community. We are training them to become researchers."
