Poviding quality IT outsourcing solutions that bring about transformational impact, with the aim of creating digital skills and employment opportunities for low-income youth in Kenya

SDG contribution
SDG 1: No poverty, SDG 4: Quality education, SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
Impact sourcing service company Daproim Africa joined Business Call to Action in September 2019 with a commitment to provide quality IT outsourcing solutions that bring about transformational impact by training 9,000 youth with little or no formal work experience. It has also committed to provide direct and indirect part-time employment opportunities on transcription, data entry and micro tasks to 5,000 youth, half of which are girls.

Youth from disadvantaged backgrounds in Kenya lack access to formal training that makes them competitive in the job market. Even when training is available, it may not reflect the changing needs of the labour market. Daproim Africa, established in 2006, is an impact sourcing service provider operating in Kenya aims to provide relevant skills to local youth and change the narrative of outsourcing in Africa. Employing its triple bottom line business model, it seeks to provide cost-effective, customer-focused service provision while ensuring transformational impact on the youth through extensive training and employment opportunities.

Daproim’s Digital Campus Connect (DCC) is one of the initiatives that has played a significant role in freeing underprivileged youth from poverty. The programme aims to help university students to earn a decent living and receive training on essentials skills in the current labour market, such as digital literacy and soft skills. The programme targets youth from poor backgrounds in institutions of higher learning to complete micro tasks for Daproim's partners, which include local and international companies, NGOs and other institutions. DCC was initiated in 2012 and to date has impacted the lives of 11,000 young people through training and 1,200 young people through employment.

Moreover, Daproim’s beneficiaries are able to work remotely for Daproim through a proprietary web application and thus earn an income to help pay for their education or support their families and communities back home.
