The proliferation of broadband to all corners of the globe has lead to the promise of meaningful work reaching everywhere. Companies like LiveOps and non-profits like Samasource aim to expand these work opportunities to underserved populations domestically and around the globe.

Our goal at LiveOps is to change the world of work by reaching into many areas of the United States, providing meaningful opportunities for sales and services type work individuals can do as a home-based business using a broadband connection. LiveOps provides services to its client by engaging a contracted workforce of many of our partner- independent contractor agents, many of whom are full-time parents or caregivers who require flexible work hours, or disabled individuals who prefer a work-from-home opportunity, or individuals that live in an area that is either too remote or too heavily unemployed to find meaningful work. The LiveOps business models allows these individuals to develop a home-based business of their own, and to work according to their schedules and needs.

Samasource expands this vision internationally, connecting underserved people in remote areas of the world, with dignified work that can be done over broadband connections. They have brought work opportunities to individuals in Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana, and Pakistan where, prior to Samasource’s involvement, there were few – if any – meaningful work opportunities. By creating work opportunities for the people in these areas, Samasource is significantly changing people’s lives.

Here at LiveOps we could not be prouder to support Samasource in this vision.

To that end we will be a sponsor at the Samasource Gala on November 11th – an event that, last year, raised over $100,000 for Samasource’s ongoing non-profit mission. Tickets are still available and we encourage all of you to attend and learn more about how Samasource is changing lives, and changing work.  http://www.samasource.org/gala/
