In 2013, Daringo was the youngest ever Moremi Initiative for Women's Leadership (MILEAD) fellow, which provides support for women to pursue leadership roles. [1] She was only the second ever Namibian to be nominated for the fellowship. [2] This led to her nomination in 2014 as one of the top 30 future African leaders.

In 2019, the Fashion Council of Namibia appointed Daringo to its Board, due to her experience founding and running the PR company Zeronine Media. [11]
