Skills for life – We empower young, disadvantaged
people to succeed in the digital world.

In 2017 we started our basic coding training for under-served rural youth, knowing that learning how to code is equally important as writing, reading and counting.
It is an important driver of social and economic development, as almost every job requires digital skills, as well as inevitable for developing valuable soft skills including logic, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.

Strategy

It is almost impossible for young people in rural areas to develop digital skills – but they are essential to give everyone the chance to get ahead in life, find a job and become an engaged citizen. That’s what The Dariu Foundation is committed to: children ages 9 to 15 have completed more than 1.2 million coding classes thanks to the Digital Literacy Initiative.

In the coming years, we want to expand our coding classes to reach young people in Bhutan, Malaysia, Laos and more.

By 2027, there will be 250 Code Clubs to serve around 5000 talented children and 1000 projects.

In addition, “The Impossible Project” is being launched, in which selected projects from the Code Clubs will lead to a startup company or to self-employment.

What we do

The Dariu Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged youth through digital education, bridging the gap between urban and rural opportunities. By providing essential coding skills, we empower children to thrive in a digital world, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and self-confidence. With over 1.2 million coding classes completed, we are committed to reaching millions more by 2025, ensuring that every child has the chance to succeed and innovate.
