Who we are

Digital Divide Data (DDD) is an innovative, internationally acclaimed social enterprise.

We create jobs for talented youth in developing countries by delivering high-quality content business process outsourcing services to clients globally. This business empowers our staff with the skills and experience they need to lift themselves out of poverty. When our business grows, so does our impact.

Founded in 2001, our proven model develops a strong workforce in countries with untapped talent. We identify and recruit motivated, disadvantaged youth who would not otherwise have access to good jobs or higher education. We then train and employ 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. With our scalable approach to growth, we now employ more than 900 people across our offices in Cambodia, Laos, and Kenya.

Every client project directly contributes to the impact we have on our staff. Our mission makes DDD a more responsible and responsive partner to clients like Reader's Digest, Harvard University and the National Library of the Netherlands. Our model has been recognized by Boeing, Cisco Systems, the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, the World Bank Development Marketplace, the Rockefeller Foundation and the United Nations Development Program, among others. DDD has been featured by media such as CNN, the New York Times, the BBC, and was profiled in Thomas Friedman's bestseller, The World is Flat.
