The Leila Janah Foundation

SAN FRANCISCO, California, 94110-1296 United States

Mission Statement

We believe that work is the most effective and comprehensive way to reduce poverty. Through sustained employment, people invest in healthier food, education, safer housing, and savings, lifting themselves and their families out of poverty. Our mission is to reduce global poverty by helping social entrepreneurs in Kenya and Uganda grow their businesses and Give Work to people in their communities.

About This Cause

The Leila Janah foundation was created to accelerate the adoption of social enterprises that Give Work to those in underserved communities. Leila Janah, our late founder, firmly believed that providing meaningful, dignified, living wage work was the best way to permanently lift people out of poverty. She coined this “Give Work”, and founded a movement to bring her vision to life. Originally named Samsasource, this non-profit was renamed after the passing of our founder to honor her legacy. This structure enables us to accelerate Leila’s vision and further build the Give Work movement.
