Samia Spaces.
As Samia Studios grows, it intends to reinvest surplus profits into libraries, schools, educational resources and recreational spaces. This page says what that means, how it will be paid for, and exactly what is true today.
What counts
Four kinds of place.
Anything else is a question for later. These four are the point.
Libraries
Rooms with books in them, open to anyone, with somewhere to sit and read for as long as you like.
Schools
Classrooms, teachers' materials and the things a school is short of: books, desks, light, a working roof.
Educational resources
Lessons, textbooks and reference material that cost the reader nothing, in print and online.
Recreational spaces
Playgrounds, pitches and parks: places where children and families can play safely and for free.
What is true today
Nothing has been built or funded yet. Samia Spaces has no projects, no partners and no budget, because the company does not yet have surplus profits.
Today the founder gives through Humanity First. Spaces starts when there are surplus profits to give. We will not announce a library before there is a library.
How to be in touch

If you run a library, a school or a community space and want to talk about what would actually help, write to [email protected]. We cannot fund anything yet. We can listen, and we would rather know what is needed before the money exists than after.
