Overview

ABYA is a pan-African initiative created to promote literacy and adoption of blockchain, web3 and cryptocurrency in Africa through awareness, knowledge, skills and application among university students. Our focus on the youth is informed by the fact that Africa's youth make up a significant proportion of the population, but they are often left out of the formal economy and lack access to opportunities. This lack of access prevents them from thriving, resulting in high levels of unemployment and poverty, as well as social and political marginalization, and as a result, Africa cannot reach its full potential. The youth are the future leaders of the continent, and if given the opportunity, they have the potential to become change-makers. By investing in Africa's youth with future-proof skills, networking opportunities, and other programs, we are not only empowering individuals but also benefiting society as a whole as well. These young people have the potential to make a real difference in the world, and we are proud to be supporting them on this journey.
