Over the past three years, I have donated more than $35,000 in professional photography and videography services to Samasource, an innovative non-profit social business founded by my sister, Leila, that connects women and youth living in poverty to dignified work via the Internet.

Masai Warrior in Village, Masai Mara Reserve Founded in 2008, Samasource has provided life-changing employment opportunities for thousands of people. Traveling on assignment to Kenya in 2011 with the Samasource team, I got to see firsthand the impact of their work as I interviewed the young men and women who help support their families and send their siblings to school.

I am happy to share selected images and video interviews of the workers here or in the embedded gallery below. You can see how Samasource's micro-work model is impacting individuals throughout Kenya and elsewhere. Be sure to check out their website at www.samasource.org.

Also, coming up  - I am preparing 8 large-format canvas wraps for the Samasource 2012 GiveWork Gala!
