Thank you for standing with Girl Think Initiative and for investing in education, empowerment, and a better future for our communities.

Bitcoin is not fiduciary. It doesnt depend on an institution or a central government for it to be money. This means Bitcoin is money with an intrisic value. Its importance,its value doesnt depend on anyone .

Fiat currencies are easy to use but unfortunately they are easily devauled by entities controlling them like governments. This destroys the whole purpose of money to store value and ofcourse protect the dignity of people using it.

A lesson from this years African Bitcoin Conference. My husband recently went on a business trip to a Bitcoin Conference in Mauritius. One day he called me and said, “Iiih Thandi, nsaname, I’m so inspired, and at the same time I feel like many of us take things for granted.” He then told me about a young man he met, someone from a country where rebels constantly invade villages. People there are forced to move back and forth, hiding in the mountains just to survive. My husband said that even when they met at the airport, you could tell the man came from a poor family and a very humble background. But through his hard work, he managed to attend this business trip and experience something life changing. This young man is learning programming and coding. To study, he walks almost 2 kilometres to do piece work so he can buy data bundles for the internet. He borrows a laptop from a friend in the village just so he can continue learning. And that dedication is exactly what got him noticed. The organisers saw his commitment and invited him to this big conference. Now back to what my husband was reflecting on. He said, “Thandi, it’s sad how so many young people I know back home take for granted the resources we have in Malawi. We have no wars, and many young people especially in urban areas have access to phones, internet, and computers.” Look at where this young man is coming from his village is constantly affected by conflict, people are displaced all the time, yet he still works hard. He told my husband that because they have grown up knowing they are underserved, they make it a point to push themselves even more.

Bitcoin is more than money. It is a product of philosophical and technological revolution that continues to reshape the world.

Plan B Academy,a great platform to learn about Bitcoin Technology.

Girl Think Initiative and Women of Satoshi Cooperative have a huge role to play in promoting education and empowering girls and their surrounding communities through Bitcoin initiatives. Many of the people we reach have never heard about Bitcoin before. They have never attended a financial literacy class. But through these community meetings with traditional authorities, people are beginning to learn about Bitcoin technology what it is, how it works, its monetary value, and how it can help liberate them from the cycle of poverty that has held them down for so many years. We are opening doors, creating opportunities, and planting seeds of financial freedom in communities that have long been left behind.

Meet Gladys Billy. A young lady whose bright smile could easily convince you that all is well yet the day I met her, she had not eaten anything from morning until noon. Gladys dropped out of school in 2023. Since then, she has become the breadwinner of her family. Her mother has been sick since 2021, and her father abandoned them when her mother’s condition worsened. Every day, Gladys and her family struggle to find even the simplest meal. They live in a leaking house, sleeping on a wet floor, surviving under conditions no child should ever face. But despite all these challenges, Gladys still believes in her future. She dreams of returning to school and becoming a nurse to change her family’s fate and restore hope. Gladys deserves a chance. And she is not alone many girls in Kabudula and across Malawi are facing similar struggles. These are the families and girls Girl think initiative is targetting to empower them through bitcoin initiatives. 🌿 Call to Action Girl Think Initiative is committed to helping Gladys and other girls like her get back to school, access basic needs, and live in dignity. But we cannot do it alone. We are calling on well-wishers, partners, organisations, and community members to stand with us. ✨ Your support can provide school materials, food assistance, safe shelter, and the hope these girls desperately need. If you would like to support Gladys or contribute to our work in any way, please reach out. Together, we can rewrite their stories. Together, we can keep girls in school.

Bitcoin wasn’t created out of greed like many currencies throughout history. It was born from ideas ideas about humanity, dignity, and empowerment. It emerged as a tool for social movements, designed to offer people liberation and freedom. Bitcoin was created to remind us that money carries philosophy, and that the relationship between people and money is deeper and more meaningful than we often recognize.

Bitcoin is a protocol and a monetary system that completely changes the way people think about money. It is then good to understand this relationship between bitcoin unit and people if one has to become financially free and enjoy the freedom,dignity,power and joy this technology brings.
