About LinkSalone
Connecting Sierra Leone's businesses with their communities, one connection at a time.
Our Story
LinkSalone was born from a simple observation: Sierra Leone is filled with talented entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and passionate business owners, yet finding them often relied on word-of-mouth or chance encounters. In an increasingly digital world, local businesses were missing opportunities to connect with customers who needed their services.
LinkSalone emerges as a vision to bridge this gap—creating a dedicated platform where Sierra Leonean businesses could establish their digital presence and where customers could discover trusted local services with confidence.
Today, LinkSalone is growing into a comprehensive business discovery platform, helping businesses across Freetown, Bo, Kenema, Makeni, and beyond connect with customers seeking quality services.

Founder & Lead Developer
Meet Our Founder
Amara T. Jaward is a passionate technologist and entrepreneur with deep roots in Sierra Leone's growing digital ecosystem. With a background in software development and a keen understanding of both local market dynamics and global technological trends, Amara recognized the untapped potential of digitizing local commerce.
His journey into technology was driven by a fundamental belief: that access to information and connectivity should be a right, not a privilege. This philosophy shapes every aspect of LinkSalone's development. Amara's hands-on approach to building the platform—from architecture decisions to user experience—reflects his commitment to creating solutions that genuinely serve the community.
Beyond technical expertise, Amara brings a nuanced understanding of Sierra Leone's unique business landscape. He understands that a business in Freetown may have different needs than one in Bo or Kenema, and that trust is built differently in tight-knit communities than in anonymous marketplaces.
