Education is the currency of the future, but this is not so for girls in Africa, as a lot of young girls are out of school or into forceful child marriages. Girls from Africa are currently demeaned and seen as sex objects or properties, a lot girls in rural areas of Nigeria, Gambia, Togo e.t.c. are fearful of their lives when walking the streets of their neighborhoods because they don't want to be victims of rape, kidnapping, abuse and harassment. There are teenage girls who come to me for assistance on their education when they can no longer afford tuition fees, some girls whom I interacted with displayed very low self esteem and complained that they have been abandoned by the society which they once taught had the very best for them. Young African girls are hawkers of goods and teenage prostitutes , they quit school to support the family in troubling financial situations. All of these predicaments girls in Africa experience daily in their lives spurred me to think of how a new technology such as blockchain can change the world in extending charity to girls in the most remote villages on the African continent. Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa are embracing blockchain technology bringing about new ways of solving Africa's problem. On this note, In Nigeria where I am domiciled, I intend to start a Non-governmental organisation (NGO) in the hope to fund girls education and assist poor African girls to achieve their dreams and help harness their God given talents. Education will and always be the key to freeing a nation from the shackles of poverty and oppression. I therefore call on the international community and people of good will to support and assist this new project '' EDUCATE THE AFRICAN GIRL CHILD THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN". I believe when we keep hope alive for our girls the future gets brighter. Thank you.
