Saturday, February 4th. The group has created hundreds of jobs for
youth in Cambodia, Laos and Kenya by delivering business process
outsourcing services to clients worldwide, using a model called,
"Impact Sourcing".
A pioneering social enterprise, DDD creates jobs for talented youth in
Cambodia, Laos and Kenya by delivering business process outsourcing
services to clients worldwide. At the same time, DDD's data management
operators (DMOs) are able to obtain a university education, with
scholarship assistance. Over ten years, the organization has grown to
employ near 1000 staff; and 500 DMOs have earned university degrees
with DDD's support.
"When we started in a small office on Street 360 in Phnom Penh in
2001, we had high hopes that this small business could make a
difference in the lives of a few people. Ten years on, I am in awe of
the impact our team has had on the lives of thousands of young adults
and their families, and the role we've played inspiring others in
creating the new field of Impact Sourcing. It's been an incredibly
rewarding journey, made possible by hundreds of people who have
collaborated with us around the world", said Jeremy Hockenstein, DDD's
Chief Executive Officer.
