Bitget and UNICEF Empower Girls in 8 Countries With Blockchain Education
Nothing seems to be stopping the advancement of Web3. Far from mere announcements, this revolution is seeping into the educational policies of international institutions. Blockchain no longer merely raises funds or tokenizes assets. It trains, educates, and transforms. This is evidenced by the recent alliance between Bitget and UNICEF Luxembourg: a three-year partnership to equip thousands of young people, mostly girls, with digital skills in eight countries. The educational shift is underway.
In brief
- Bitget and UNICEF aim to train 300,000 young people in blockchain across eight strategically selected countries.
- The program combines online courses with hands-on workshops through educational video game creation.
- Bitget is activating its Blockchain4Her fund to promote the digital and economic empowerment of young girls.
- Web3 actors will take part in the training to enrich the learning experience with qualified mentors.
A global educational partnership to fight the digital divide
On June 16, 2025, Bitget and UNICEF formalized their cooperation within the Game Changers coalition. The objective is to provide concrete digital skills, particularly related to blockchain , to 300,000 young people across eight strategic countries (Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, South Africa).
This Bitget initiative is not only aimed at teenage girls. Parents, teachers, and mentors are also targeted. A collective approach, therefore, to stop a persistent divide: each year, young girls in low- and middle-income countries lose $15 billion in economic opportunities due to limited access to digital technologies.
This partnership reflects our shared belief that digital skills are a powerful driver of opportunity and inclusion. By collaborating with Bitget, we want to provide adolescents and young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own futures.
Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg
The initiative is supported by Bitget Academy, the platform’s educational arm, which will develop the first UNICEF blockchain training module. This module will combine practical workshops with learning through the creation of video games. All based on an interactive approach designed to keep young people engaged over time.
Blockchain4Her and gamification: educational innovation at the heart of the program
Bitget also brings to this cooperation its flagship initiative: Blockchain4Her. With a budget of $10 million, it promotes the financial independence of women through mentoring, targeted educational resources, and blockchain training adapted from an early age.
Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget, emphasizes accessibility:
Blockchain is one of the most powerful tools we can give to our younger generation to build products that change the way we look at modern society.
She adds: “What started as a mission for hundreds of women has become a global movement“.
The program relies on innovative approaches:
- 3.3 billion players worldwide: a vast pool of natural candidates for game-based learning
- Online and in-person modules: guaranteed flexibility for each country
- Mobilized Web3 partners: developers and blockchain protocols enrich the training
- Global goal: 1.1 million girls trained by 2027
- Ability to adapt locally: each territory has its tailored modules
Bitget ‘s approach goes beyond education — it’s also geopolitical. It positions blockchain as a lever for empowerment.
This partnership is not a first attempt. Already in 2022, UNICEF was exploring Web3 uses for concrete missions. Notably through NFTs, used to raise funds . A way to combine financing and innovation in their charitable actions. Far from rejecting crypto, UNICEF demonstrates that it can become a socially useful tool. The adventure thus continues, but on a larger scale.
