Who We Are
Bitcoin Dada is a Bitcoin-native institution building technical, economic, and leadership capacity for women across Africa. We operate as long-term infrastructure for Bitcoin education and development, designing rigorous programs that move participants from first-principles understanding to practical application, technical contribution, and ecosystem leadership.
Our work is grounded in local economic realities, disciplined thinking, and a clear separation between Bitcoin and speculative crypto narratives. Bitcoin Dada exists to ensure that African women are not passive adopters of financial technology, but competent actors shaping how Bitcoin is learned, built, and sustained on the continent.

Testimonials
“Through Bitcoin Dada, I gained practical Bitcoin knowledge and a supportive community that strengthened my leadership mindset. It strongly influenced my product design career and inspired me to build Bitcoin products that drive financial inclusion across Africa.”
“As a working wife and mother, the online night classes fit seamlessly into my busy life. The supportive community created a safe space for me to learn, grow, and gain real confidence. That growth sparked conversations at home that eventually turned my husband into a Bitcoin believer, and as a result the way we think about our financial future changed completely.”
“I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would become a Bitcoiner. Thanks to Bitcoin Dada, today I am both a Bitcoiner and a Dada. This space taught me things about Bitcoin that society failed to teach. Now I’m going back to my community with the same tools I received from Bitcoin Dada, to empower others.”
"Bitcoin Dada sharpened my knowledge about bitcoin in ways I never thought possible, went from believing Bitcoin is a scam to Bitcoin is financial independence, Bitcoin is power and with the knowledge I emerged with from Bitcoin Dada, I am now working on building a small community “Tujiendeleze na Bitcoin” educating homeless girls and women about Bitcoin."
Attending Bitcoin Dada classes was the best decision I ever made for myself. Living in urban Kenya, especially Nairobi, is a hustle on its own. Add family life and motherhood, and you have little to no bandwidth to learn anything—let alone understand Bitcoin and all its terminology. Bitcoin Dada gave me the chance to learn patiently. I was guided gently, almost like a two-year-old, with no judgment. Being part of Cohort 2, when Bitcoin Dada was still very new, they did such a great job with me that I was able to implement what I learned and go on to create Bitbiashara. Every woman needs to join Bitcoin Dada. The classes are curated specifically for women; it is a safe haven where women learn economic empowerment—not just for themselves, but for their communities as well.
"Bitcoin Dada shaped my journey in Bitcoin education and gave me the confidence to lead. It is the main reason I started Bitcoin for Aliyense Zambia, to empower communities with practical Bitcoin knowledge and financial independence."
"Coming from Malawi, where women face limited access to financial education and digital skills, I joined Bitcoin Dada to be part of a force that empowers and transforms. My goal is to become exceptional and use Bitcoin to uplift girls, women and communities around me.
Bitcoin Dada has given me a warm, empowering, and truly life changing environment to learn, connect, and grow."
