Durakhshi Marifat is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, with an active federal registration that expires on June 10, 2025. The organization specializes in providing educational development services, particularly focused on language education and teacher professional development in Tajikistan. While specific details about the organization's founding or broader mission are not provided in the available documentation, its federal grant award history indicates a consistent focus on English language education and pedagogical support.

The organization has received multiple cooperative agreement awards from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, specifically targeting English language education initiatives in Tajikistan. These grants, ranging from $283,000 to supporting ongoing programs, have focused on comprehensive educational support including peer-to-peer networking, pedagogical material development, and professional development opportunities for English language teachers. The most recent award, STI40024CA0101, is a $283,000 cooperative agreement for the "English Without Borders" program, running from January 1, 2025 to December 1, 2026, which aims to support English language teachers and learners across all educational levels in Tajikistan. Previous awards have included virtual training sessions on lesson preparation, media literacy integration, and creating professional communities of practice for educators. The consistent funding from the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs suggests Durakhshi Marifat has established itself as a reliable implementer of educational development programs in the region.
