In the world’s poorest regions, there is no single path to
development. Government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and
private enterprises all have roles to play. Bureh engages with Sierra
Leone’s private sector to promote, at a grass roots level, private
enterprise and the entrepreneurs who will make this happen, all while
being a socially responsible, for-profit company itself.I recently started Bureh with two colleagues I worked with at MIT’s Jameel Poverty Action Lab in Sierra Leone. Bureh makes cloth belts that we have begun selling online and in a London. In coming months, we will market these colorful fashion accessories in select stores in the United States and Europe.
