Samaschool moves people out of poverty by providing digital skills training and a connection to internet-based jobs that pay a living wage. Technology is significantly transforming the way we work. Unbundling projects, creating finer divisions of labor, and contracting out work are cornerstones of the 21st century economy. We believe that low-income communities should not be excluded from the opportunities that these changes create. Samaschool trains low-income people to succeed in digital work and the freelancing economy so they can move out of poverty. Our training empowers people with the digital literacy, professional skills, and online work competency needed to thrive in this economy.
