🌍 PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Women of Satoshi Cooperative (WSC)
📍 Location: Malawi 🇲🇼 (with a strong focus on rural communities)
About:
Women of Satoshi Cooperative (WSC) is a Malawi-based non-profit that equips women, especially teenage mothers and marginalized women, with Bitcoin education, financial literacy, and practical tools for economic independence.
Key Objectives:
1. Increase Bitcoin education among women: Deliver accessible, hands-on Bitcoin literacy training (basics, wallet security, self-custody, and everyday use) to many women, including those with limited formal education or literacy, through workshops, cohorts, and community sessions.
2. Promote financial sovereignty and greater control over personal finances: Equip teenage mothers and rural women with the knowledge and tools to manage their own money outside traditional banks and predatory systems, reducing reliance on depreciating local currency and building confidence in self-custody and savings.
3. Create opportunities for women to participate in the Bitcoin economy: Launch and support four community businesses alongside a Bitcoin-based savings and credit cooperative (Sats Nkhonde), generating sustainable income and projecting meaningful annual revenue.
4. Support sustainable Bitcoin circular economies: Onboard local vendors and enable peer-to-peer earning, saving, and spending in Bitcoin so women can transact for essentials (food, education, goods) within their communities without constantly converting back to kwacha.
5. Build stronger networks of women learning and using Bitcoin: Foster sisterhood, leadership pipelines, and ongoing support networks that connect learners across rural and urban areas, turning participants into educators, entrepreneurs, and community champions.
