If I collected my qualitative data from US educators due their expertise in my research topic. The results of this study will be used as guidelines to improve teaching practices in Kuwait. In this case, how can I validate the collected data to ensure that the results are applicable in Kuwaiti context, I am struggling with this part?
I think you should read about how to code qualitatively collected data and then you could choose the best approach that meets your research questions . After coding the data, you should analize the results using any data analysis systems. personally I have used SPSS and it provides reliable and valid results . This link could be useful:

You need to look into transferability/generalizability. Both can be different. I think your findings can be helpful, but transferring qualitative results is not the design or purpose of small n studies. Cross-cultural should be a major factor as well.
Validity/reliability or trustworthiness/credibility. The key is being systematic and designing a plan which answers your question with rich data. Sampling strategy is paramount. If you want to use SPSS or another statistical program, give a survey. Check the following two articles:

Dear Alazmi. What other collegues have answered above make sense to me so I'll be straight to the point. Validation refers to what is accepted in a specific culture. Thus, I believe you should research on what is accepted as validation in Kuwaiti educational system and bring data that meets it in your country. From this point, innovation could be introduced with higher expectations on the validation area.
By engaging a socratic questions to the informant to make it clear with points and verbal answers being shared...
Considero que el análisis que se plantea debe orientarse a la codifica ion y establecimiento de categorías que explique el fenómeno o hecho estudiado. Se puede establecer una relación intercategorial que amplie la significatividad de los resultados. Considero que para tal efecto se puede leer a corbin y Strauss, también a Creswell y en español a Martinez Miguelez. Aunque no identifico el método empleado, en investigacion cualitativa se trabaja con datos escritos (documentos, documentos oficiales), datos hablados (entrevistas, audios, video grabaciones, grupos focales y otros) y datos observados, por lo que si es posible aplicar el mismo instrumento en el país de destino se puede hacer una triangulacion de la información, codificado y categorizando para poder determinar si es o no posible aplicarse. De ahí que la onvestigacion sea parte de una innovación en el sistema educativo que refieres.
Recomiendo el uso del software Atlas.ti o Nvivo para tratar con datos de esta naturaleza
