2013《財富》最具影響力的女創(chuàng)業(yè)家
利拉?詹納 ? 公司:撒馬源公司 ? 年齡:31歲 2008年,,詹納作為顧問與印度達拉維一家呼叫中心的員工進行了交流,。達拉維是南亞最大的貧民窟。那名工人說有數(shù)以百萬計的無業(yè)村民具備有與他一樣的能力,。詹納說:“我想:‘有沒有可能利用外包為數(shù)十億人每個人帶來幾美元,而不是為少數(shù)富人帶去數(shù)十億美元,?’” 于是,,她成立了撒馬源公司(Samasource),用這個高科技平臺幫助貧困的女性和年輕人獲得谷歌(Google),、商務(wù)社交媒體公司LinkedIn和微軟(Microsoft)等公司的數(shù)字項目,。到目前為止,這個非盈利機構(gòu)已經(jīng)幫助16,000人脫離了貧困,。近期,,它還在美國成立了一個國內(nèi)項目SamaUSA,主要面向居住在舊金山的低收入學(xué)生,。 |
Leila Janah ? Company: Samasource ? Age: 31 In 2008, Janah talked to a call center worker from Dharavi, India, the largest slum in South Asia, while working as a consultant. The worker said there were millions of unemployed villagers as talented as he was. "I thought, 'What if outsourcing could generate a few dollars for billions of people, rather than billions of dollars for a wealthy few?'" Janah says. She went on to launch Samasource, a tech platform that connects impoverished women and youth with large corporations like Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft to complete digital projects. To date, the non-profit has helped over 16,000 people rise above the poverty line and it recently launched SamaUSA, a domestic program for low-income students living in San Francisco. |
