Background and Business Description

Digital Divide Data (DDD) creates jobs for talented youth in developing countries by delivering high-quality content business process outsourcing services to clients globally. 

Founded in 2001, DDD's proven model develops a strong workforce in countries with untapped talent. They identify and recruit motivated, disadvantaged youth who would not otherwise have access to good jobs or higher education. DDD then trains and employs them at a fair wage, while offering them scholarships to attend university. DDD alumni go on to high-skilled positions in which they earn more than four times the average regional wage. This enables them to break the cycle of poverty that traps their families---they are able to send family members to school and raise their household's standard of living. DDD has a scalable approach to growth, and they now employ more than 700 people across their offices in Cambodia, Laos, and Kenya.
