Samaschool

Samasource aims to train and employ thousands of people in the United States, Kenya, India, Uganda, and Haiti.

Our flagship program Samasource provides work to people living in poverty through impact sourcing -- the idea of deliberately giving work to people in need. To do this, we secure data contracts from some of the largest enterprises in the world and, through a managed service model, hire marginalized people living in Kenya, India, Uganda, and Haiti to execute digital work for our clients.

Our training program, Samaschool, helps low-income, chronically unemployed people find and perform internet-based work, enabling them to access previously unattainable employment opportunities that create a pathway out of poverty.

Samasource brings together a passionate group of social entrepreneurs and technologists focused on bringing work to marginalized people around the world. Samasource is supported by institutions such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Mastercard Foundation, the Tipping Point Community, and The Robinhood Foundation.

Since 2008, Sama has trained over 4,000 people, employed more that 11,000 people, and impacted the lives of more than 34,000 family members.

Samasource became fully financially sustainable and broke even in 2016.
