Open Space

In Sierra Leone, there are many unemployed youths. Because of the lack of jobs, many youths have decided to start their enterprises, yet there remains a lack of infrastructure to support these young businesses. Open Space is solving this problem by providing a way to support start-ups, provide access to technology and entrepreneurship tools, resources, and networking, and in the long-term, to provide access to funding. In doing so, Open Space will provide a platform that supports young entrepreneurs, therefore solving the problem of a lack of infrastructure and support for start-ups in Sierra Leone.
