This report summarizes five years of Bitcoin for Fairness, our on-the-ground work, education programs, and community-led impact across Africa.
## Make Number of Freedom Go Up!
Bitcoin For Fairness's purpose is to **promote Bitcoin and decentralized technology education to advance financial freedom, privacy, and human rights** - especially in authoritarian and underserved regions.
BFF **empowers communities through ground-level education**, providing free courses, videos, research, and events. We offer scholarships to educators, community builders, and disadvantaged groups in the global south.
**All BFF projects are open-source**, because true fairness requires open access to knowledge.

## Five Years of Bitcoin Capacity Building
Bitcoin for Fairness has worked **directly with communities across Southern Africa - particularly in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Zambia** - where currency devaluation and authoritarian restrictions create urgent needs for financial alternatives.
Through education programs, mentorship, and seed funding, we've fostered a generation of African Bitcoin educators and community builders who develop solutions tailored to local needs. This grassroots approach ensures Bitcoin knowledge grows organically within communities, **creating lasting impact for people facing real economic challenges**.

We have exposed **local leads to international conferences and built international collaboration**

## Crack the Orange

We grant **scholarships for Bitcoin educators, community builders and developers** in the Global South.

Crack the Orange offers an extensive online course, an open source knowledge library – containing hours of video material, monthly live calls and community calls to connect educators and builders from all over the world.

## Anita, Founder
Since 2020, our founder has worked on the ground across Africa while **championing Bitcoin as a fair, accessible financial system that doesn't discriminate or oppress**—through conference keynotes, media appearances, and publications.
She **challenges Western narratives by amplifying African voices in the global conversation**. As a pioneer in bringing African Bitcoiners to international attention, she secures funding and support for on-the-ground work while advocating for authentic, locally-driven solutions.
> *"Sounds illogical, but by using Bitcoin you support human rights globally and help to make the world more fair."*

## Plans for 2026

In 2026 we continue our work with a focus on **capacity and decentralized infrastructure building**, supporting the **use of Bitcoin as money** and strengthening **censorship resistance and privacy in the Global South**.
From January to May founder Anita and program director Francis Miller will advance Bitcoin education on the ground across **Zimbabwe, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zambia**.
Bitcoin For Fairness will provide **Crack the Orange scholarships** to emerging educators, and support local initiatives through micro-grants and mentorship throughout the year 2026.
