In 2025, The Dariu Foundation’s work reached a second continent for the first time, extending beyond Asia to Kenya’s Kilifi County, with Morocco joining in spring 2026.
Artificial Intelligence moved to the heart of the foundation’s work. The year saw 24 new Dariu Tech Clubs open — bringing the total to 232 across Vietnam, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos and Kenya — and 30,000 teachers trained in AI competencies in Vietnam in just four months. Since 2011, the foundation has reached 3.29 million students, most of them, like most of the teachers trained, women.
Looking ahead, the AI Initiative 2026–2030 will train 150,000 teachers, reach over 5 million students, and bring 300 Dariu Tech Clubs to Asia and Africa.
