Niankoro Yeah Samake () (born February 27, 1969) is a social entrepreneur and politician from Ouelessebougou, Mali.

==Early life and education==
The 8th of 18 children born to Tiecourafing Samake who had three wives in a Muslim family, Niankoro Yeah Samake was born in the small village of Ouelessebougou, where he and his family lived in such deep poverty that Samake recalls how his mother would tie the stomachs of Samake and his siblings to ease their hunger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Ben )〕 Despite their material circumstances, Yeah's father Tiecourafing insisted that all of his children receive an education, not wanting them to suffer the darkness of illiteracy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=The Cricket and the Seagull )〕 An exception in a commune where only 15% of the population attended school, Samake's father's vision contributed greatly to the family's later prominence in Ouelessebougou.〔 Samake recounts, “My father knew we would feel deprivation from time to time, but the odds weren’t with us, anyway. When I was growing up, it was hard to survive. 45% of Malian children would die from malaria, diarrhea, and preventable diseases. We knew the challenges of staying well, but we believed in our father’s wise resolve to have us educated. He is a hero to me, and any sacrifices were worth it."〔 In addition to Samake serving as mayor, one brother teaches physics at the university and some of Samake's other brothers hold jobs in agricultural engineering and education.〔
Samake finished high school at Lycée Prosper Kamara in Bamako, and continued his studies at Ecole Normale Supérieure of Bamako, where he received a Bachelor's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Présidentielles 2013 : Les candidats Niankoro Yéah Samaké )〕 After completing school, finding no jobs, Samake worked as a volunteer teacher in his village for the next three years. He also worked for the Ouéléssébougou-Utah Alliance, an organization founded by Utahns in 1985 to partner with local Malians to improve heath, educational, and economic opportunities in the country. He supported himself during this time by working as a linguistic and cultural guide for the Peace Corps and Ouelessebougou Alliance. This brought him in contact with a Mormon couple from Colorado, Jeff and Gretchen Winston, who were impressed by Samaké’s work ethic and his devotion to his community.〔
