Course: Financial Inclusion and Blockchain Technologies

Traditional banking excludes vast numbers of Africans through high fees, geographic inaccessibility, and discriminatory practices. This subject introduces blockchain platforms like Celo and Stellar that provide borderless, low-cost financial services accessible to anyone with a basic smartphone.

Participants receive hands-on training creating digital wallets, sending payments, saving in stablecoins, and accessing micro-lending services. The course explores decentralized finance opportunities while teaching how blockchain platforms complement existing systems like M-Pesa.
