Helping women learn about Ethereum and take a big step on their way to financial freedom

CTI (Code to Inspire), a non-profit organization that specializes in teaching Afghan women to write code, has reached an agreement with Bounties Network Company. Bounties Network Company will provide local women with the opportunity to learn Ethereum code so that they can be used to fix company vulnerabilities and complete related projects. . The founder of CTI, Folau, revealed that the cooperation started in May. These trained students can start earning Ether after obtaining a MetaMask account and electronic wallet. Although Folau did not specify how much Ether they have earned, she said Each bounty for the girls ranges from $10 to $80, depending on how easy it is to complete the project.

This is not the first time Folau has tried to connect Afghan women with digital currency. As early as 2014, Folau teamed up with Afghan entrepreneurs to provide Afghan women with the opportunity to earn Bitcoin by blogging, but this plan died. Because there is no local cryptocurrency exchange that provides digital currency that can be circulated, and most bloggers do not have accounts on digital currency exchanges. But the real challenge facing Folau and her team is how to convert the digital currency into local legal tender. At first, she and her team will accept the digital currency of local women and give them legal currency in return. It will cause great inconvenience.

Folau said popularizing the learning of ethereum code is unlikely to bring much change to the environment of digital currency in Afghanistan, but women's learning ethereum code still has unlimited educational value. Folau believes that the advanced nature of Ethereum technology is not only reflected in financial aspects, but also in terms of product creation. Afghan women have very little financial resources, so it is very meaningful for them to learn Ethereum code. Simona Pope, community director of the Bounties network company, said: "By learning the Ethereum code, you can create anything of value, which will bring infinite possibilities to their future." They have launched MetaMask courses on the Internet and will soon create an online store where the students can sell the products they develop and buy related services.

Establishing a full-fledged cryptocurrency market in Afghanistan seems far away, and Folau still sees value in partnering with Bounties Networks to educate women about Ethereum and help them take an important step on the road to financial freedom. "A lot of women in Afghanistan are not allowed to work outside the home, and some families don't want their daughters to travel alone or go out to work," Folau said. "If they have one chance of a job in Herat, it's a million on the Internet. "Herat is the third largest city in Afghanistan and also the location of CTI. CTI will allow women to take classes or work online, providing them with employment and learning opportunities that were previously unavailable.

Folau believes that Afghanistan has been neglected by the foreign blockchain industry due to political turmoil. She hopes to teach these girls how to program and solve the problems encountered in the country by cultivating local talents. He said: “Some girls in Afghanistan know how to code, and they will change the future of Afghanistan and their country through access to 21st century knowledge."
