SAMASOURCE: Connecting Women, Refugees & Youth To Work Via The Internet
Samasource empowers over 850 marginalized people, from refugees in Kenya to women in rural Pakistan, to receive life-changing work opportunities via the Internet. In parallel, they enable socially responsible companies, small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs in the US to contribute to economic development by buying services from their workforce at fair prices.
Their services include data entry, book digitization, Internet-based research, business listings verification, audio transcription, and video captioning. Compared with traditional business process outsourcing firms, Samasource offers competitive pricing and turnaround times coupled with highly accurate results reviewed by a San Francisco-based client services team.
So far they have worked with 18 small businesses, non-profit training centers, and rural data centers that provide dignified jobs to more than 850 marginalized individuals in Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana, and Pakistan.
