Africa is not just adopting Bitcoin. African women are building it.
We built Dada Devs with the hope of creating a better ecosystem for African women in Bitcoin — one where women have access to the technical training, mentorship, resources, and opportunities they need to move coin to actively building and contributing to it.
That vision is taking shape.
Through Dada Devs, we are creating pathways for women to develop their technical skills, contribute to open-source projects, explore Bitcoin infrastructure, and build solutions of their own. We want African women to be more than participants in this ecosystem. We want them to help shape its future.
@su_githaiga @nkatha_kk @Salma_Adam_KE @junearsenic7 and @nnakhero are five of the women doing that work. Their journeys reflect what becomes possible when women have the support and space to grow into technical contributors.
And they are just a fraction of what is happening at Dada Devs. There are more women learning, building, contributing, and finding their place in this ecosystem.
We started with a hope for a better future for African women in Bitcoin. Seeing that future begin to take shape through their work is a reminder of why we do this.
Meet the five African women contributing to the future of Bitcoin. Discover what they’re building, the work they’re contributing to, and how Dada Devs is helping create more pathways for African women in Bitcoin development.

Some moments make you stop, look back, and realise just how far the journey has taken you.
I am incredibly honoured to be recognised among 45 Most Influential Women in Digital Transformation, 2025–2026, by CIO Africa Magazine, in its November 2026 Women in Tech Africa Edition.
da , I had a simple but ambitious vision: to create pathways for African women to understand, access and participate in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
What began as a Bitcoin education initiative has grown into something much bigger.
Bitcoin DADA laid the foundation, building a community and training women across Africa. @DadaDevs took that vision further, moving into technical capacity building and creating pathways for women to become developers and contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
And now, @dadahub_africa – a physical home for collaboration, learning, entrepreneurship and innovation, bringing together founders, creatives, technologists and changemakers to turn ideas into reality.
Looking back, I realise I wasn't just building programmes. I was building institutions, one layer at a time.
The journey hasn't been easy. Building from the ground up, navigating limited resources and keeping a vision alive takes resilience. But the conviction has never changed.
This recognition is deeply meaningful, and I share it with every woman, developer, partner, collaborator and team member who has been part of this journey.
I am proud of how far we have come, but we are nowhere near done.
The ambition has always been bigger than any single programme or organisation. It is about building institutions, creating opportunities and shaping an ecosystem where African talent, ideas and innovation can thrive for generations to come.
Thank you, CIO Africa @dx5ve for this recognition.
Onwards. 🧡

Eight weeks of learning, building, and working through the technical side of Bitcoin development came together this Wednesday as participants from Dada Devs Cohort 5 presented their final capstone projects.
The capstone presentations gave each group an opportunity to showcase ing on, demonstrate their understanding, and put the skills they had developed throughout the programme into practice.
From the training sessions to the assignments, group work, and final projects, it has been a journey of learning, experimentation, and collaboration.

With the capstone presentations completed, Cohort 5 has officially wrapped up its training programme! 🎉
But there’s one more milestone to look forward to. Cohorts 4 and 5 will be celebrating their graduation on November 21.
Congratulations to all our participants. We’re take what you’ve learned into the wider Bitcoin and open-source ecosystem. 🧡

Decentralization is often discussed in the context of money, payments, and financial freedom. But its potential goes far beyond finance. It can also be applied to real-life challenges women face.
Resilience, a project by Team Nostr Warriors, explores this possibility. Made up of thinji , @GraciaMugoiri , @NNakhero , Daisy Sawe, Mona Tanei, and Vanessa Kalondu Otieno, the team introduced the project during the recent hackathon hosted by Dada Devs and @hack4_freedom Built on Nostr, Resilience is designed to give survivors of gender-based violence a way to anonymously seek counseling and support.
The project took second place at the hackathon and also received an additional $500 award from our founder @marcelorraine
Why the extra support? Because Resilience addresses a problem that deserves attention. For survivors of gender-based violence, fear of exposure, stigma, and lack of privacy can become barriers to seeking help. By exploring how decentralized technology can enable more private access to support, the team presented an idea with meaningful potential for real-world impact.
Well done, Team Nostr Warriors! We look forward to seeing Resilience develop and make its vision a reality. 🧡

Where do Bitcoin developers go beyond writing code and submitting pull requests?
Hackathons create that space. They bring developers together to exchange ideas, tackle technical challenges, experiment with tools, collaborate, and turn concepts into working projects.

And perhaps most importantly, they create opportunities for more people to contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
We love seeing Dadas take up that space. 🧡

One thing you’ll notice about all the hackathon projects? Problem = Solution. ⚡️
These developers didn’t just build for the sake of building. They used Bitcoin and freedom tech to create tools that tackle real problems and meet real needs.
That’s what building with purpose s #Hack4Freedom #BitcoinDevelopment #BuildFromAfrica
