The more I worked with @UNICEFinnovate, the more I realized talent was never the issue.

Many young people already have the curiosity. What they need is the first door to open, with tools, mentors and a chance to build.

That is why @Bitget is supporting UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition for another year.

Together, we’ve reached 642K+ people across 8 economies, with girls making up 52% of participants.

Next, we are expanding into 3 more countries with new financial literacy and AI modules.

UNICEF is testing blockchain for humanitarian cash transfers. 💡

A Nairobi pilot by @UNICEFInnovate, @KotaniPay, and @xcapit_ sent aid via USDC → SMS → M-Pesa, so even basic phones could receive funds.

49/49 participants succeeded.

What if a startup’s progress record was public, verified and built in real time, not assembled at the end of a reporting cycle? 📈

At @UNICEF Venture Fund, we’re piloting Karma, a blockchain-based platform where startups log milestones on-chain and mentors provide live attestations.

Less reporting burden, stronger data, verifiable track records.

I wish all young people, regardless of their nationality, gender or social status, can have chances to develop their own skills. It doesn’t have to be coding or trading like many of us on CT, but something that would make them feel worthy.

This initiative is meaningful to me as a mom, coz I see how creativity, play and learning can truly empower the next generation.

Thanks for having @bitgetglobal & me @UNICEFinnovate @UNICEF

Hosted a delegation from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), led by Ms. Shaheen Nilofer, for strategic discussions on the Health Facility Solar Electrification (HFSE) initiative, first unveiled at the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

The programme will solarize 2,000 health facilities in its initial phase, with a scale-up target of 4,000, prioritising immunisation service points to guarantee reliable, round-the-clock healthcare in even the most remote areas.

This climate-smart initiative advances the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) by creating local jobs, strengthening immunisation cold chains, reducing reliance on diesel, cutting carbon emissions and boosting staff motivation, while ensuring uninterrupted health service delivery.

It also reinforces the Taifa Care model by enabling safe childbirth, reproductive health, digitised services and lower operational costs.

I commended the UNICEF for its steadfast support and reaffirmed Kenya's commitment to Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and climate-smart health solutions that deliver lasting impact for our people.

I was joined in the meeting by Director General for Health Dr Patrick Amoth and Ministry's Head of Family Health Dr Bashir Isaak.
