About Digital Divide Data (DDD)

Digital Divide Data (DDD) is a US-based, mission-driven enterprise with the goal of using technology and digital skills to bridge the divide between economically and socially marginalized youth and employment opportunities that lead to a sustainable and viable future. DDD identifies talented but underserved youth in Africa and Asia (Kenya, Cambodia, and Laos are the main centers) to enter formal employment, undergo professional training and skills development, and pursue tertiary education. Our headquarters are in New York, and we have over 1,500 employees across our operations in Kenya, Cambodia, and Laos.

• Use a smartphone app to perform validation and record your feedback on each sample.
• Follow a detailed checklist to ensure all quality parameters are met.
• Report progress to the project manager and submit validated data on time.

• Native Gikuyu speaker from rural areas of Nyeri, Murang’a, or Kirinyaga counties, with the ability to speak the specific dialect of the county you are applying for (e.g., Nyeri dialect for Nyeri County).
