Women of Satoshi Cooperative

Women of Satoshi is a women-led organisation in Malawi committed to empowering women, particularly those who are underserved and have limited access to financial education and economic opportunities. We believe that financial knowledge, technology and practical skills can help women become more financially independent and create better opportunities for themselves, their families and their communities. Our work goes beyond teaching Bitcoin. We make Bitcoin simple, practical and relevant to everyday life, while providing financial literacy, Bitcoin education, socioeconomic empowerment activities and practical skills development opportunities. We help women understand how Bitcoin and emerging financial technologies can support greater financial inclusion, economic participation and new opportunities. We primarily work with women in rural and underserved communities, while also reaching women in urban areas. Through community-based education, women’s groups, partnerships with local organisations and engagement with community leaders, we create spaces where women can learn, ask questions, share experiences and build confidence. Over the next five years, our goal is to directly reach and train 1,000 women across Malawi, with at least 60% coming from rural communities. We aim to reach approximately 150 women in Year 1, 350 cumulatively by Year 2, 550 by Year 3, 750 by Year 4 and 1,000 by the end of Year 5. Our approach is designed to create lasting impact. Through a train-the-trainer model, women who complete our programmes are encouraged to share their knowledge with others. This will create a growing network of women educators and community leaders. Our long-term vision is to build a strong network of financially empowered women who use knowledge, technology and practical skills to create sustainable opportunities and contribute to more resilient communities across Malawi.
