The Dariu Foundation (TDF)

Who we are

The Dariu Foundation (TDF) was established in 2002 in Switzerland with its mission to empower the low-income families with microfinance and education, operating in Vietnam since 2003, focusing on access to microfinance services for the unbanked, education support for the disadvantaged children among the poorest families, through projects of microfinance, scholarships, kindergartens and mobile schools/containers.

Over the past 15 years, we have advanced the mission objectives by providing access to affordable and readily available microfinance services to tens of thousands of rural low-income women, who are considered as un-bankable, in Vietnam and Myanmar.

What we do

Since 2007, we have provided +14,000 scholarships, including notebooks, school books, pens, uniforms, rice and/or bicycles to the disadvantaged and neediest students among the poorest families in the rural areas to prevent them from dropping out of schools at the early age. So far, there have been over 300,000 students trained with computer skills, code literacy and financial literacy via our 60 mobile schools in Vietnam and 12 mobile schools in Myanmar. Since 2014, TDF has created 13 mobile (or container-based) libraries, aimed at creating access to books, computer and internet for the rural children in the Mekong Delta. In addition, since 2008, we have helped to build 32 kindergartens across the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, for approximately 3,000 children age 2 to 5.
