DDD Battambang Has A New Office

On the first day in the new office building, April 5, 2010, there were 110 people working there. It was a very exciting moment to see everyone working together in a larger and more widely accessible office environment. Our management – from the General Manager to team leaders – all began as data entry operators and worked hard to develop a stronger team and expand our program to accommodate more disadvantaged people in Battambang and elsewhere in Cambodia.

Sopheap started her DDD career as one of the first 10 operators hired when the Battambang, Cambodia office opened in early 2004. She is now the General Manager of the Battambang office.

291 Kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh, the centrally located capital of Cambodia, DDD’s Battambang office opened in late 2003 with only 10 data entry operators. It was a very rare job opportunity, and it was hard to believe that it could happen in such a hard time in this rural province of the country. We shared an office with small and medium enterprises. To scale our social mission to to empower disadvantaged youth through education and on-the-job training, DDD Battambang moved to a second independent office building in mid 2004, with the capacity to accommodate around 120 employees. That was just a temporary office since our ambition to provide better and greater opportunities to disadvantaged people in Battambang was still alive and strong. We finally moved into a new, nice, larger office building not far away from the previous building to the South.

We look forward to growing our office staff with 60 new operators by June 2011.
