A Fresh Perspective

Imagine the stunning coastline of Kenya, where the waves meet the shore, and the air carries whispers of ancient traditions. This picturesque scene is more than just beauty; it’s the canvas on which a new digital adventure unfolds. As the world races into the era of Web3, DeFi, and cryptocurrencies, the Coast Province stands at the brink of a transformative tide. Pwani Web3 Hub emerges not just as a response to technological shifts, but as a necessity in an ever-changing landscape.

What We Learned: Curious Minds

We engaged with the community to learn about their awareness and aspirations regarding Web3, DeFi, and crypto, and guess what? People kind of know the words, but they’re not totally sure how they work. They want to learn more, especially about using these tools to do money stuff in a smart way. We also found out that dealing with regular banks can be tricky for some people — they might not know much about money or get treated unfairly.

Forging a Path: Pwani Web3 Hub’s Promise

PWH isn’t just an organization; it’s a response to a need, a yearning for knowledge, and a desire for a better future. We’re here to bridge the gap between the uncharted world of Web3 and the eager learners of the Coast.
