Bitget has launched a major three-year partnership with UNICEF Luxembourg to boost blockchain education among African youth. This new effort is part of UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition, a global initiative that supports youth-focused skills training.
This collaboration is part of UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition, which supports youth-focused digital skills training in underserved communities. Over the next three years, Bitget plans to reach more than 300,000 learners, including youth, parents, mentors, and teachers, across eight countries, including Morocco and South Africa.
According to Bitget’s tweet, Bitget Academy will co-create UNICEF’s first blockchain training module, interactive, online & in-person. The program will be built around video game creation to keep young people engaged while they learn blockchain basics.
A key feature of this initiative is Blockchain4Her, Bitget Academy’s dedicated training track designed to encourage more young women to explore blockchain technology and Web3 entrepreneurship. The goal is to boost female participation in a sector where women are still underrepresented.
The partnership covers eight countries, including Morocco and South Africa. Both online and in-person sessions are planned, working with local youth groups and schools. By investing in grassroots education, Bitget and UNICEF aim to open new career paths and expand digital inclusion in communities that often have limited tech opportunities.
Bitget says the program will also promote entrepreneurship, giving young Africans tools to build businesses, freelance, or contribute to blockchain projects across the continent.
This effort comes at a critical time. Many young Africans are interested in crypto and decentralised finance but lack affordable training and clear career guidance. By closing this gap, the partnership hopes to nurture a generation ready to build and benefit from Web3 innovation.
Bitget’s Managing Director called this collaboration:
“A milestone in our mission to make blockchain skills accessible to everyone, especially young women who are underrepresented in tech.”
This initiative shows how global crypto firms and nonprofits can work together to tackle inequality and grow local talent, helping Africa shape its place in the next wave of digital finance.
