I’m Thandi,a Bitcoin advocate,and founder of Girl Think Initiative, a girl-centred design program supported by the Women of Satoshi Cooperative. I am a passionate advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with a focus on empowering young girls in public primary schools and those who have dropped out of school in Malawi.
My work involves partnering with communities to promote education through Bitcoin Edcuation Initiatives, school feeding programs, SRHR sessions, and the provision of essential school materials. I am committed to advancing girls’ right to education, as well as their right to access accurate information, resources, and support related to SRHR.
Why should Bitcoin technology be treated as a basic need especially in developing countries?
Because Bitcoin represents freedom. Freedom of expression, freedom of action, and freedom from systems controlled by central authorities who can make decisions that negatively impact millions, especially the less privileged. Too often, these authorities do not protect people’s dignity. Instead, they limit opportunities, reinforce inequality, and suppress potential.
Bitcoin challenges this. It removes the cultural expectation that a person’s future depends on someone else’s power. It is global, open, and accessible. It gives individuals a real sense of purpose and encourages people to aim higher.
For girls, Bitcoin can build confidence and open doors to opportunities previously kept out of reach. For women, it offers financial independence,power to provide for their families, nurture their homes, and stand firm in society. By empowering women economically, Bitcoin can help reduce gender-based violence rooted in cultural and financial dependency.
Bitcoin is equity. It is a tool that shifts power back to the people and that is why it should be treated as a basic need in places striving for real development and lasting change.
