We made a video about how in Mozambique, your bank card can stop working the moment you cross the border. Capital controls, high banking fees, and a 10% loss on every exchange are daily reality. For human rights activists, a closed bank account can mean the end of their work. This video documents what happened when Bitcoin for Fairness visited Mozambique for 10 days in early 2026 - and what the people building with Bitcoin there have to say about it.
In the video below you'll hear from Francisco, a skate educator who now pays his instructors in Bitcoin. From Marlene, who wants to bring Bitcoin to her women's community. From Gabriel, who is building a Bitcoin circular economy at a surf school in Ponta do Ouro. And from Daniel, who founded Bitcoin Famba and is decentralizing Bitcoin education across the country.
Together, we ran six events: two public workshops with 70-80 participants each, a training with eight TV journalists, the first-ever BitDevs Maputo event for developers, visits to two Bitcoin community projects, and a workshop with human rights activists. Bitcoin for Fairness never charges for education - and never will. We run entirely on donations and grants. Every contribution goes directly into our Crack the Orange scholarships for educators and builders, microgrants for local initiatives, and the platforms that make this work possible.
