As 2025 comes to a close, we’re deeply grateful to every partner, mentor, supporter, and visitor who stood with Afribit Kibera. Your presence, wisdom, and belief fueled real progress on the ground.

This year we strengthened local commerce through 16 merchant accelerator sessions, supported 10 motorbike riders to full compliance, expanded our up cycling program with a focus on young women, supported 4 waste management initiatives, and continued mentoring builders across Kenya. Improved connectivity via Satanet also strengthened our digital backbone.

Community-led collaboration works. 2025 laid the foundation 2026 is about deepening impact.

Afribit Kibera Team.

Yesterday we wrapped up the incredible 3rd Bitcoin education session in Kibera, proudly sponsored by Trezor. The energy in the room was electric

One of the most inspiring highlights was the presence of Professor Susan, a university lecturer who joined us to learn Bitcoin basics right here in Kibera. Her participation was a powerful reminder that the pursuit of knowledge and empowerment transcends boundaries and brings us all together. nostr:npub1llkvd2zh596r437k5guqqpvktn0jtz4tasn3zfqnjuktue33wagqm2ftee
