ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Imagine an open data activist, a leading female entrepreneur, and a rapper getting together in the same space to find new ways to solve old problems. Think of a government official, a film-maker and a traditional leader working to tell stories about local solutions to challenges. Picture a street artist, religious scholar and citizen journalist collaborating around new ways to resolve community disputes.
That’s the magic of iCampus- Liberia’s 1st multi-disciplinary, innovation and community space for change-makers focusing on the intersection of technology, accountability and social change. Our 4,000 square foot campus in the heart of Monrovia provides the space, resources, support and cutting-edge technologies that can make change possible in Liberia.
