Bitcoin & Privacy for Civil Society in Africa

HakiFedha is a multilingual knowledge hub built for the people authorities try to silence: activists, journalists, human rights defenders, whistleblowers, and community organisers across Africa. Our name comes from Swahili. HAKI means justice, rights, and fairness. FEDHA means money and finance. Together they reflect a simple belief: financial sovereignty and privacy are not technical luxuries. They are justice. We provide practical technical guidance on Bitcoin, self-custody, and privacy tools for civil society in Africa.

When an NGO treasurer in Nairobi is setting up a multisignature wallet for the first time, they need someone to walk through it with them. When a journalist in Lagos is about to receive their first Bitcoin payment, they need a trusted voice, not just a link. When an activist organisation in Dakar wants to present Bitcoin to its board but is not sure how to answer difficult questions, they need someone who has done it before. BitMentor is that person.

When an NGO treasurer in Nairobi is setting up a multisignature wallet for the first time, they need someone to walk through it with them. When a journalist in Lagos is about to receive their first Bitcoin payment, they need a trusted voice, not just a link. When an activist organisation in Dakar wants to present Bitcoin to its board but is not sure how to answer difficult questions, they need someone who has done it before. When a human rights organisation in Kampala receives an international donation in Bitcoin and needs help creating internal policies for custody, accounting, and transparency, they need practical guidance. When a women’s rights group in Harare wants to understand whether Bitcoin is appropriate for their organisation before accepting donations, they need an impartial advisor who can explain both the opportunities and the risks. When an independent media outlet in Addis Ababa loses access to traditional payment channels and needs to explore alternative funding options, they need someone who understands both Bitcoin and the realities of civil society. When a whistleblower support organisation in Mozambique wants to protect the financial privacy of donors and beneficiaries, they need help evaluating the available tools and trade-offs. BitMentor is that person. Become one: image

What if the NGOs in Burkina Faso forced into state-owned banks had used Bitcoin self-custody? If they held even a fraction of their reserves outside the state banking system, the outcome would look very different. We built a free knowledge hub to ensure African civil society is equipped with this knowledge before the next directive drops: @Bitcoin Policy UK @gladstein @HRF image

Fiat Currency Hall of Fame: The largest banknote ever printed: The Zimbabwe 100 Trillion Dollar note ($100,000,000,000,000). Issued in January 2009 at the peak of hyperinflation, this massive denomination was worth just about $30 USD at launch. Barely enough to buy a single loaf of bread. Money printing is a ghost story told in real time. image

In 2025, Burkina Faso ordered every NGO to transfer all funds to a state bank. What if those NGOs had understood Bitcoin before the decree? This is why we built HakiFedha. HakiFedha is a free, multilingual, open-source knowledge hub for activists, journalists, whistleblowers, community organisers, and human rights defenders in Africa. Bitcoin. Privacy. Financial sovereignty. In plain language, for your context: image
