In Nairobi's Kibera settlement, Bitcoin is emerging as a practical tool for everyday financial transactions, offering a new avenue for financial inclusion amongst residents.

• Residents are using Bitcoin for daily purchases like food and services, driven by its low transaction costs and control over funds.
• Key figures include Roney Mdawida (founder of Afribit), Dotea Anyim (vegetable stall owner), and Stephanie Obat (group leader of Afribit Women and Girls Empowerment Group) who advocate for its adoption.
• Initiatives like the Afribit Women and Girls Empowerment Group are using Bitcoin to facilitate earnings through upcycling, while garbage collectors and water vendors are rewarded in Bitcoin.
