Helpers Social  Development Foundation

In many rural communities across Nigeria, children are eager to learn but lack the basic materials needed to succeed. At the same time, access to financial tools and knowledge about blockchain remains limited—especially among youth. This project will provide basic school supplies to reduce the rate of out-of-school children in Nigeria and also educate young people about cryptocurrency.<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSkfJxzqBe4X7HwDohZbxm4cVDCRK6SnUr2iSQge7SXrF"><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcN9SUmkgSgZWE2zbWKbmoPvPzKdxxwiRhsHuMvGkN4Bh">Through the <a href="https://giveth.io/project/basic-school-supplies-and-crypto-education-initiative" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Basic School Supplies and Crypto Education Initiative</a>, Helpers Social Development Foundation is providing:Essential school supplies — including notebooks, pens, backpacks, sandals, uniform, and learning materials — to support classroom engagement.Crypto and Web3 literacy workshops — teaching students how to set up digital wallets, understand the basics of blockchain technology, and explore the power of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Why we are advocating about crypto and how to use it to fund public goodsSupporting this initiative will help close the gap by helping more underprivileged children to stay in school and learn about cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency education for young people help to&nbsp;redefine how young people engage with and understand the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies and how it can help to fund public goods. Helpers Foundation team believed that education remains the best tool to inform the public about cryptocurrency's impact because it helps people make informed decisions, avoid scams, and understand the broader economic and technological implications. Education helps demystify concepts like blockchain, decentralization, and smart contract. Education helps the public grasp how these changes effects jobs, businesses, and financial stability. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSmSUSgHKi7pjQicnk6yUUPgrseEAKdc6rcbtVFnNmMTL"><h2>Why Cryptocurrency education for young people is important</h2> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmerFf14iTWwaf3aHVJ5eWnaCSTdm5HEbqfBmdJUiBPmeA">Awareness and understanding- Many people still do not fully grasp how cryptocurrencies work, their benefits, and risks. The program hope to host events for young people and different stakeholders to educate them on how crypto can be used for public good. This project aims to educate youth about cryptocurrency and how it can be used for public goods. Educating young people on overview of the history of the first cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Celo network, Solana, Base, Arbitrum network, Stellar, Ethereum and how it came to be the most valued digital asset. Educating young people, the concept of buying and selling it, as well as the risks and rewards of investing in cryptocurrency and stay away from financial fraud. Supporting this initiative will help to increase youths understanding about cryptocurrencies. How to encourage more people to start accepting cryptoDue to fraudulent activities being committed by some of the crypto user, government and parents discouraged their youth and citizens from using cryptocurrency. Proper education on the use of crypto, and how it can be used for public good, will encourage those who is against cryptocurrency to have a rethink of their action against it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At Helpers Social Development Foundation, we believed that lasting change happened when children and youths have access to their social needs. We are accepting cryptocurrencies because we believed that crypto will help us to restore and build abandoned public institutions. <h2>What Helpers Foundation have achieved with cryptocurrency donations</h2> With the help of our crypto donors, we established three (3) nursery and primary schools in Enugu State with the aim to offer high quality free and low-cost education and mentoring to underprivileged children in Nigeria.We believed we can build a system more than the government because we know our people's needs and how to solve them.

Poverty regardless of level is linked to reduced academic achievement. Students who live in poverty come to school every day without the proper tools for success, as a result, they are commonly behind their classmates physically, socially, and emotionally.
