How Tech Can Drive Down Poverty

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 25, 2017

Samasource CEO and founder Leila Janah joins us to discuss her new book, Give Work: Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time. Janah's mission is to drive down poverty around the world by using a method she describes as "giving work," which calls for providing jobs to some of the world's poorest citizens. Janah outlines the different ways her ventures have accomplished this and how they're more effective than traditional foreign aid models. 

Leila Janah will be speaking at the Fast Company Innovation Festival at 10 a.m. on Oct 26.
