This is Fanuel from Malawi. He grew up in a village around Mulanje Massif - the tallest Mountain in Malawi. He took me up to the peak for a challenging 3-day hike and even invited me to stay at his place on the day we got back down. We connected quite well and talked a lot about the issues that Malawi has and how their currency (Kwecha) is heading towards Hyperinflation right now. Next to being a guide he runs a small charity where he houses Kids, sends them to School and teaches them Carpentry.
We installed his first Lightning wallet together - Unfortunately he still needs some USD in his life and AFAIK it's not easy to do P2P trading here in Malawi so I did pay him in Fiat, but I was able to give him a tip in Bitcoin and he gratefully accepts Donations for helping his community. Send some love to him if you feel like it. 265999329808@8333.mobi - https://8333.mobi/265999329808/static
There's a lot more he's fighting for that I find amazing. Malawi but especially Mulanje has a big deforestation-issue. The locals kill entire forests to collect firewood, without sustainably replanting the trees. Instead of trying to do something against it the Government is actively encouraging this and dosencouraging people from cooking with Gas as the Presidents son wants to turn the natural beauty of Mulanje into a toxic Mining operation - the only Mining operation in the region that I support is Gridless. There's a lot more I could add here but this will be it for today. I can recommend you Ian Fosters Substack if you're interested about the destructive effects of Fiat in Malawi (https://open.substack.com/pub/ianfost)
