Agilix Labs says an AWS Education Equity Initiative grant will support the Future Learning Institute’s year-long Finder Program in Sierra Leone. The program trains young people to use AI to address questions from local businesses and community groups.

Agilix Labs says the grant will provide AWS cloud and AI technology for the Finder Program, run by the Future Learning Institute, which Agilix established in 2025 under an agreement with Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Technical and Higher Education.
The year-long program trains young people who qualified for university but did not get a place to use AI, alongside local judgment, to respond to questions from businesses and community groups.
FLI is scheduled to formally launch the program and open its second Community Learning Center at Freetown Polytechnic on November 10, 2026; its Kono District center opened in March.
