2013《财富》最具影响力的女创业家

利拉•詹纳

• 公司：撒马源公司

• 年龄：31岁

2008年，詹纳作为顾问与印度达拉维一家呼叫中心的员工进行了交流。达拉维是南亚最大的贫民窟。那名工人说有数以百万计的无业村民具备有与他一样的能力。詹纳说：“我想：‘有没有可能利用外包为数十亿人每个人带来几美元，而不是为少数富人带去数十亿美元？’” 于是，她成立了撒马源公司（Samasource），用这个高科技平台帮助贫困的女性和年轻人获得谷歌（Google）、商务社交媒体公司LinkedIn和微软（Microsoft）等公司的数字项目。到目前为止，这个非盈利机构已经帮助16,000人脱离了贫困。近期，它还在美国成立了一个国内项目SamaUSA，主要面向居住在旧金山的低收入学生。

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.
