Arikymo is a natural resources company founded on the principles of sustainable development and fair trade with the communities in which it operates. Created in 2013 the company aims to create value for its investors while reversing the so-called "resource curse" affecting a majority of today's underdeveloped countries. Arikymo's overriding goal is to revolutionize the way business is done in Sierra Leone and use a share of its profits to develop local communities. Transparency, strong corporate ethics, and respect for local communities are critical to the company's success.After years of violent internal conflict the Republic of Sierra Leone is now launching a process of national development and state transformation on a scale not seen since it won independence in 1961. President Ernest Bai Koroma has clearly stated his ambition to take his country from change to prosperity.With peace and political stability restored, the will for a better future is alive among the country's population. Arikymo is committed to playing an active role in advancing this transformation.
