Global crypto exchange, BitGet, has signed a three-year partnership with UNICEF Luxembourg to deliver blockchain and STEM education to over 300,000 girls, parents, and educators across eight countries.

The initiative is part of UNICEF’s broader Game Changers Coalition, aimed at closing the gender digital divide and fostering inclusive access to the technologies of the future.

 

According to BitGet, the partnership will promote digital literacy and blockchain skills through a mix of in-person and online training. Bitget Academy, the exchange’s educational arm, will work closely with UNICEF to co-develop interactive learning modules, including a video game-based blockchain curriculum designed to make learning engaging and accessible.

“Our focus is on equipping adolescent girls with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to help close the gender skills gap,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

 

Countries set to benefit include:

  • Armenia
  • Brazil
  • Cambodia
  • India
  • Kazakhstan
  • Malaysia
  • Morocco, and
  • South Africa

Bitget joins major organizations such as the Micron Foundation, Women in Games, and the Global Video Game Coalition in UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition. Collectively, this global alliance aims to empower 1.1 million girls with foundational tech and blockchain skills by 2027.

The partnership builds on Bitget’s ongoing $10 million Blockchain4Her initiative, launched to support women’s participation in Web3 through mentorship, startup grants, and tailored learning programs.

Bitget also plans to connect UNICEF with top blockchain protocols and Web3 developers to serve as mentors and technical partners – enhancing the practical impact of the curriculum.

Why It Matters: Africa’s Urgent Digital Skills Gap

Across many low and middle-income countries, adolescent girls face a steep digital divide. Studies show that young women miss out on up to $15 billion annually in economic opportunities due to poor internet access and lack of digital training.

In Africa, where youth unemployment and education inequality remain major challenges, programs like Bitget’s could offer a scalable solution.

Morocco and South Africa are the only African countries included in this initiative.


As reported by BitKE, similar initiatives across Africa have been launched in 2025.

The Bitget-UNICEF program will be the first to integrate gamified blockchain learning into UNICEF’s digital education portfolio. Participants will learn basic blockchain principles through video game creation, supported by in-person mentorship and digital tools.

“Roughly 3.3 billion people play games globally. It’s only natural that we learn best in interactive and supportive environments,” said Chen.

 

The program also echoes global trends toward using AI-powered tools to democratize education. Former Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, recently announced Giggle Academy, a free, AI-designed K–12 learning platform – hinting at an industry-wide push to broaden access to specialized digital skills.
