Last week we hosted another Bitcoin community meetup in Lusaka, Zambia: bringing people together to learn and share ideas around Bitcoin.
Big thanks to @nprofile…lzev and @npub1yul…ncdu for their financial support and giveaways that helped make the meetup possible. https://blossom.primal.net/06bf8fadb042ab89c61e5308628e25c80f996912f108636fd4e9f07adf37a5c0.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/b2875de541358e9f3357bdf8aa014356b09dc272300cd43ca61e3bc2f12896e8.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/946aa883adc4d8f50b49328511944364fc535aba0dc81a8c14d7b4f695a3163e.png https://blossom.primal.net/b50adccf1a01b1401ebbfe141268d936608717a89d2b5e51384be54a20328d1f.jpg

Giveaways from our Bitcoin OSS Campus Ignition tour at ZCAS University, Lusaka! Thanks to Trezor Academy for Trezor wallets donations.
Our campus tour is only possible because of partners who believe in this mission.

Great to see strong interest from students at ZCAS University in Lusaka as we continue introducing young people to Bitcoin open-source development and opportunities in the space.
Thanks to everyone who joined us. Special thanks to @nprofile…lzev for the support that made this possible. @nprofile…ajgd https://blossom.primal.net/1b66a4af7b68ab7097a010a3bc9a2e171ae3af2764c6e51b3f4a988adfe9b9a1.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/fa38cf6f5f28e5e42c6c96e06b57a46bdef27fdf54155c6c0b045fafda9b1aca.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/18ce6e2933f9a9b3b5e1306b1df44ca3cf7015c84e2d09d48d4782ea91c32802.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/0b79cedf802ab6e0daa788fd8d65493bcb680d90c1fb304d5a27665a41ad91d5.jpg

A special thank you to nprofile1qqs9kjsayrl03epwxqw2af9h0u3g8f59qe24nlvhlxc4gyvgyhstzrcwfaddp for your continued support of Bitcoin in Zambia.
You started the first Bemba Bitcoin-only podcasts while living in rural Zambia, helping make Bitcoin education more accessible in local language and context.
What stands out even more is that your commitment did not end when you left Zambia. Behind the scenes, you have continued supporting Bitcoin Zambia and BitDevs Zambia with advice, technical guidance, and hands-on help with our websites and GitHub.
A lot of the work that strengthens local Bitcoin communities happens quietly in the background, often without recognition.
We see it. We appreciate it.
Thank you for continuing to help grow Bitcoin education and technical capacity in Zambia. Your contribution matters.

We at Bitcoin Zambia were excited to exhibit at RightsCon thanks to a grant from nprofile1qqsysq9u2r3nzac0sjxsjn6jsalm6nr56dneggjj7swelsfydxdrzls27lzev.

We’ve taken a big step forward in strengthening our ability to advocate for how nonprofits can use Bitcoin to navigate financial repression.
We recently participated in an @ training focused on this important topic.
Special thanks to @nprofile…qe7r, @nprofile…dmd9, and Anya Chekhovich for their insights and guidance, and to our members and the Zambian activists who also took part in the webinar.

We’re launching BitDevs Zambia: Bitcoin OSS Campus Ignition, an ambitious initiative to visit 8 of Zambia’s largest universities, partnering with campus software development clubs to run hands-on workshops introducing student developers to open Bitcoin development.
Our community, BitDevs Zambia, has been growing fast. BitDevs Zambia was born in early 2025 when @nprofile…exa7, founder of Bitcoin for Fairness, spoke at our founding event in Lusaka.
Since then, we’ve held regular BitDevs Socratic Seminars, and in August 2025 we ran Zambia’s first Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Lusaka. One of the participants continued working on his bootcamp project, which resulted in the launch of https://bit2kwacha.info/, a practical Bitcoin tool built locally.
Currently, several of our members are participating in the global ₿OSS Challenge, an initiative for developers serious about starting a career in Bitcoin OSS.
On January 15, two of our members were recognized among the winners of the global @nprofile…rq55 Time2Build 2025 challenge: https://blog.breez.technology/time2build-meet-the-2025-winners-1d8b11501ad9
These milestones show the strength and momentum of grassroots Bitcoin technical education in Zambia.
We’re running a small crowdfunding campaign on Geyser to make Bitcoin OSS Campus Ignition possible. If you care about Bitcoin OSS education and developer growth in Africa, we’d greatly appreciate your support or feedback: https://tinyurl.com/mrf2y4cw

At the recent @nprofile…xnla Lusaka Lightning Bootcamp, we had a dev coding on just his phone. Now imagine the possibilities if he had a proper laptop. If you’ve got one sitting idle, it could empower someone building Africa’s Bitcoin future. https://blossom.primal.net/609d786fc223fe6d6e1acf5e38edd4ada45a246eb37e3463bbbe2b2c7dc065bf.png
