Crypto Charity Profile: Code to Inspire

As cryptocurrencies become more widely adopted, cryptocurrency donations are also on the rise. Many are familiar with the large donations made by crypto whales, such as Vitalik Buterin’s roughly $1 billion donation to the India COVID Relief Fund and other charities, but it is getting easier and easier for everyday crypto holders to make donations to many amazing charities.

In this blog series, we will highlight charities doing great work around the world that accept cryptocurrency donations. The first charity we will be profiling is Code to Inspire.

Code to Inspire’s Mission

Code to Inspire is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that “empowers young women in developing countries to drive economic and social progress by teaching them how to code, find programming jobs and launch technology ventures.”

The organization was founded by Computer Science Professor and former refugee Fereshteh Forough and has three values that guide their work: Equality, Empowerment, and Change.

Equality - “Code to Inspire (CTI) uses technology education and outreach to provide Afghan women with leverage in their fight for social, political, and economic equality.”

Empowerment - “We build skills and infrastructure for women to compete in the global tech market, empowering them financially and socially.”

Change - “As role models for other young Afghan women, CTI graduates demonstrate that women are capable of adding value to their communities far beyond simple housework.”

Impacts

In 2015, Code to Inspire launched the first coding school for women in Afghanistan, and to date, has served 200 female students. 70 women have graduated from their program, 70% of whom have found work earning above-average wages in their country.
