Founded in 2008, Samasource is a social enterprise that connects marginalized yet talented women and youth to dignified work via the internet. Samasource has pioneered a new model of employment called Impact Sourcing, which introduces business process outsourcing as a means to reduce poverty by providing work that pays a sustainable, living wage in places with high rates of unemployment including slums and rural communities in East Africa, South Asia, and the Americas.
