dc.description.abstractDigital Divide Data (DDD) believes talent has no boundaries and opportunities shouldn't either. In 2001, we saw the need to bring tech skills and living-wage work to men and women in underserved communities in Asia. It was here that DDD helped plant the seed for a socially responsible outsourcing practice known as impact sourcing. From this early work, DDD built a proven work-study methodology to train, support and employ talented individuals around the world, and thereby provide high quality, competitively priced ITO/BPO services to customers. Today, DDD continues to thrive and work towards a world where everyone – regardless of location or background – has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Since 2001, DDD's program has increased lifetime earnings for youth in Cambodia, Laos and Kenya by a projected total of more than US$350 million.en
