Samasource

San Francisco, California

Technology / Software / Internet

An innovative social business, Samasource connects women and youth living in poverty to dignified work via the Internet. Using a proprietary technology platform, we break down large-scale on line projects into small tasks for workers in impoverished areas around the world to complete. These workers are trained in basic computer skills and paid a living wage, often allowing them to support their entire households. Currently, Samasource provides work to people in Uganda, Kenya, Haiti, India, and Ghana.
