When kids are left idle, the streets fill the gap.
This happens alot because in our communities especially during school holidays. The economy is not helping either as the parents have to work. The kids are left at the mercy of the streets!
@Bitbiasharakids is a response to this.

💡Spotlight on AfriBit Kibera

📍Location: Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya. 🇰🇪

About:
AfriBit Kibera is a community-first Bitcoin circular economy project based in Kibera, Africa’s largest urban informal settlement. It empowers underserved residents by introducing Bitcoin as a practical, everyday tool for financial inclusion, savings, earning, and local economic participation.

Some Key Objectives:
🔹Provide Bitcoin education in underserved areas — Deliver hands-on Bitcoin 101 workshops, coding classes, and community training sessions tailored for unbanked residents, youth, and informal business owners in Kibera so they can confidently understand and use Bitcoin.

🔹Enable earning, saving, and spending in sats — Create direct pathways for locals to earn Bitcoin through community work (like waste upcycling), save securely, and spend instantly with local merchants via Lightning — turning sats into real daily utility.

🔹Build sustainable local circular economies — Foster closed-loop Bitcoin flows where money stays and multiplies inside Kibera through merchant networks, community events, and on-the-ground Proof-of-Work demonstrations that strengthen local trade and resilience.

🔹Improve financial inclusion and independence — Replace unreliable fiat systems with Bitcoin to give unbanked families and entrepreneurs true financial sovereignty, protection from inflation, and independence from traditional banking barriers.

🔹Equip youth with digital financial skills — Train young people and women through targeted programs that combine Bitcoin literacy with practical digital skills, creating jobs, reducing vulnerabilities, and building the next generation of Bitcoin-native leaders in Kibera.

There's something beautiful about seeing the seeds you planted begin to grow.

A new face in our proof-of-work videos. Someone I taught, doubted, hoped for, and now see actively participating in the community.

Small wins. Big meaning.

Today, this is a win. 🧡⚡

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Learning doesn’t always have to happen behind a screen, in a classroom, or through endless slides.

Sometimes, the best way to understand Bitcoin is to become the network itself.

Last Saturday at the DadaHub, our Dadas stepped into the Bitcoin protocol through a Live Action Role Play (LARP) session led by our founder, @marcelorraine, in collaboration with @base58school and @niftynei.

And what started as a learning exercise quickly became something much bigger.

There were moments of intense concentration as teams raced to verify transactions, protect the network, and outsmart each other. There were moments of fierce competition too. At one point, the room felt less like a workshop and more like a championship final. Nobody wanted to lose.

(Although rumours suggest the real motivation may have been avoiding a certain karaoke performance after the session. 😭)

But that’s the magic of experiences like these.

People arrived to learn Bitcoin. They left understanding it.

Not because they memorised definitions, but because they experienced the protocol in action.

The laughter was constant. The debates were loud. The strategy sessions were serious. And somewhere between acting as nodes, miners, and wallets, abstract concepts suddenly became real.

And because Bitcoin is ultimately about people, not just technology, we ended the day sharing something equally important: our stories.

From our tribal showcase, where Dadas introduced each other to the beauty and uniqueness of their cultures, to a karaoke session that proved enthusiasm is far more important than vocal talent, the day reminded us that community is built in moments like these.

Moments where strangers become friends.

Where learning becomes memorable.

Where women interested in Bitcoin realise they are part of something bigger than themselves.

This is what Bitcoin Dada has always been about.

Not just education.

Belonging.

Here’s a short recap of how the day went down. 💛

And if you missed this one... let's just say you’ll want to be at the next LARP session.

Photos coming soon, so stick around.

🇰🇪 Madaraka means power.
As we celebrate Kenya's journey to self-rule, let's remember that self-rule starts with us.
Taking responsibility for our choices, thinking independently, exploring options, and owning our future.
Freedom comes with responsibility.

[My First Bitcoin @MyFirstBitcoin_]

We went to Kenya and filmed stories the Bitcoin space has never seen.

Students learning. Educators teaching and building communities where Bitcoin is not just an investment; it is a way to rewrite your story. Where learning about money means something completely different than it does anywhere else in the world.

For the first time, we are bringing this story to the world.

On June 10 in Prague, we are premiering our first episode of the documentary at the Bitcoin Educators Unconference. An intimate gathering with open stage. The kind of room where this conversation belongs.

This is Trailer 1. Trailer 2 drops next week; and it carries even more weight.

If you are heading to Prague, this is where you need to be on June 10.

[Wangui Murathime ⚡🇰🇪 @RMurathime]

So when women create spaces for each other, celebrate each other, and choose each other, it is not exclusion for the sake of it.
It is healing. It is safety. It is finally being seen.

[Wangui Murathime ⚡🇰🇪 @RMurathime]

As a woman, simply being born female is often enough for society to label you as “less than.”
Your beauty doesn’t matter. Your skills don’t matter. Your intelligence and capabilities don’t matter.

[Wangui Murathime ⚡🇰🇪 @RMurathime]

Our ideas were dismissed until repeated by men. Our presence tolerated, but our voices minimized. Our capabilities questioned before we even had the chance to prove ourselves.

[Wangui Murathime ⚡🇰🇪 @RMurathime]

Looking back at last weekend’s Dada Day event and how women expressed themselves, one thing became very clear
Women were never voiceless or powerless.
They were denied the platforms, opportunities, and resources to speak, build, and be heard.
@btc_dada is giving it back....

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Our Operations Manager @wandiology also took us through the impact Bitcoin Dada has created over the last four years — from the thousands of women trained across Africa to the communities, programs, and opportunities that continue to emerge through this work.

And of course, one of the most beautiful moments was watching graduates walk up to receive their certificates, a reminder that every class attended, every late night, every challenge, and every moment of doubt was worth it.

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Saturday was more than a graduation.
It was a reflection of what happens when women are given access, community, education, and room to grow. They thrive, and in turn societies thrive!

And somehow, this still feels like only the beginning. ✨

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Our founder, @marcelorraine , spoke about how the conversation around women in technology, and specifically in Bitcoin, is shifting. Women are no longer just being viewed as participants in the ecosystem, but as builders, founders, developers, educators, and owners helping shape the future of financial infrastructure.

We also heard powerful stories from alumni whose journeys through Bitcoin Dada have transformed their lives in different ways.

Some have gone on to become funded startup founders.
Some are now consultants building careers through the skills they gained.
Others are growing circular economies, educating communities, and creating opportunities for people around them.

[Bitcoin DADA @btc_dada]

Saturday, the 16th, will be a day to remember. 🧡

We celebrated our fourth year anniversary, graduated Cohort 9 & 10 of Bitcoin Dada and Cohort 3 of @DadaDevs — and without even fully realizing it at the time, we convened 102 women in one room for what is probably the first physical Bitcoin event in Africa attended entirely by women.

And that alone is history!!
