The Leila Janah Foundation

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.
