Code Club Showcase & Coding Challenge Day: Celebrating Cambodia’s Young Innovators and The Dariu Foundation’s Growing Regional Impact
Cambodia | Digital Literacy Education | December 4, 2025
Over 150 students and teachers gathered at Cambodia’s National Technical Training Institute (NTTI) for the “Code Club Showcase & Coding Challenge Day,” demonstrating the transformative power of digital education and the remarkable potential of Cambodia’s next generation of innovators.
The Dariu Foundation proudly supported this celebration through our Digital Literacy Initiative (DLI), implemented by partner Swisscontact in collaboration with Tech for Kids Academy. His Excellency Dr Hing Sideth, Royal Government Delegate in Charge of the General Directorate of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (DGTVET), presided over the event alongside representatives from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
Expanding Our Impact Across Southeast Asia
This showcase reflects The Dariu Foundation’s growing presence in Cambodia, building on our established programs in Vietnam. The two-year DLI project (2024–2025) has reached more than 4,000 students and established eight Code Clubs across Siem Reap and Battambang, demonstrating our commitment to empowering youth throughout the region. Students have transformed from passive technology consumers into active digital creators equipped to solve real-world problems.
“The Digital Literacy Initiative has played a significant role in transforming the potential of Cambodian youth into strong human capital and active contributors to society.”
— H.E. Dr. Hing Sideth, Director General of DGTVET

Building Southeast Asia’s Digital Future
At The Dariu Foundation, we believe that equipping young people with digital literacy is an essential investment in the region’s prosperity within the global digital economy. Our success in Cambodia, alongside our programs in Vietnam, demonstrates what’s possible when government, civil society, and the private sector unite behind a shared vision for youth empowerment.
