We’re Building Tomorrow’s Innovators Today

After two decades of empowering underserved communities, we’re evolving into something bigger. Starting in 2026, we’re transitioning from basic digital literacy to an advanced model of technology education that prepares the next generation for the digital world. Through our new Dariu Tech Club™ Initiative, we’re establishing 500 technology hubs across Southeast Asia and Africa where young people gain high-quality skills in coding, applied AI, and entrepreneurial thinking. These clubs combine free online courses with dynamic, hands-on learning environments where students translate knowledge into real projects that solve everyday problems.
