One Year Into Teaching Bitcoin in Ghana, Africa

A year ago, I posted here about starting Bitfiasi, a nonprofit to teach women about Bitcoin in Africa, starting from my home country, Ghana. It’s been a journey, and this Saturday, we’ll be celebrating 44 women graduating from our Bitcoin for Beginners program, a big leap from the 16 in our first cohort!

The response has been incredible. More people are already reaching out to be part of the next cohort, and it’s clear that the interest in Bitcoin among women in Ghana is growing fast.

Beyond the classes, I’ve also managed to take Bitcoin education to 4 senior high schools, running workshops to introduce students (especially young women) to Bitcoin, financial sovereignty, and digital assets. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and it’s exciting to see more women eager to explore Bitcoin for savings, business, and long-term financial security.

This Saturday’s event will have over 100 people attending, and it’s already creating a buzz among those looking to start their Bitcoin journey.

I’d love to hear from this community, how do you think I can make this even better and also get support to reach a wider audience? Any ideas on improving outreach, structuring classes, or engaging more women in Bitcoin?

Would appreciate any advice, and happy to share more about what’s working so far!
