Global crypto exchange, BitGet, has signed a three-year partnership with UNICEF Luxembourg to deliver blockchain and STEM education to over 300,000 girls, parents, and educators across eight countries.

Why It Matters: Africa’s Urgent Digital Skills Gap
Across many low and middle-income countries, adolescent girls face a steep digital divide. Studies show that young women miss out on up to $15 billion annually in economic opportunities due to poor internet access and lack of digital training.
In Africa, where youth unemployment and education inequality remain major challenges, programs like Bitget’s could offer a scalable solution.
Morocco and South Africa are the only African countries included in this initiative.

The Bitget-UNICEF program will be the first to integrate gamified blockchain learning into UNICEF’s digital education portfolio. Participants will learn basic blockchain principles through video game creation, supported by in-person mentorship and digital tools.
“Roughly 3.3 billion people play games globally. It’s only natural that we learn best in interactive and supportive environments,” said Chen.
The program also echoes global trends toward using AI-powered tools to democratize education. Former Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, recently announced Giggle Academy, a free, AI-designed K–12 learning platform – hinting at an industry-wide push to broaden access to specialized digital skills.
