Leila Janah ? Age: 30 ? Title: Founder & CEO ? Company: Samasource Inc. Leila Janah is proving to philanthropists and corporations alike that digital jobs can help alleviate global poverty. She founded the nonprofit Samasource in 2008 to link citizens in developing countries with what Janah calls "microwork," small tasks such as image tagging and transcription. The organization has so far lifted 3,800 workers and their families above the poverty line, by winning contracts from the likes of Google, Microsoft, Walmart.com, and Getty Images, and by securing funding from the MasterCard Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the U.S. State Department, among other institutions. Janah has also launched a crowdfunding site for medical surgeries, Samahope, and is piloting a U.S. work training program, too.-Catherine Dunn? |
