Adams GreenhouseMeet-up and wallet setup
I welcome you at Adams Greenhouse, share a short safety briefing, and introduce the walk. If needed, we set up a Lightning wallet together so the day feels practical from the very first stop.
Brief history of Kibera and Afribit
Stop 2
Chapati and tea standFood vendor in Soweto West
We stop at a local food stand where you can buy a small snack using Lightning and compare the flow with cash and M-Pesa. It is one of the clearest ways to feel why fast, low-cost payments matter.
Observe how merchants present a QR code
Stop 3
Neighbourhood essentials storeGeneral shop or duka
We move into a daily-use merchant setting where you see how basic household goods can be bought with sats and how a shopkeeper thinks about turnover, pricing, and stability.
Buy something simple such as soap or airtime
Stop 4
Barber or salonServices stop
A service business changes the rhythm of the walk. Here, I show you how appointments, repeat customers, and tipping can all move through the same payment rails.

Susan's story
The story should feel human before it feels technical
Susan leads Sats4Safari with a strong passion for community, education, and Bitcoin adoption. She offers guests a welcoming, thoughtful experience that blends local knowledge with practical learning.
I guide this walk from lived experience in Kibera. My goal is to give you a clearer understanding of the community and a grounded view of how Bitcoin education shows up in everyday life.
Meet SusanSusan's perspective
Community first. Education through real examples. Respect before spectacle.
My work in Bitcoin education grew from practical questions inside the community: how people learn wallets, how merchants use new payment options, and how financial inclusion becomes useful in daily life rather than rhetorical.

Bitcoin in Kibera
Why Bitcoin in Kibera matters
We talk about Bitcoin in Kibera through usefulness, not price charts. What matters here is how local people use tools that can move money quickly, lower fees, and open new forms of participation.
Merchant story
The food vendor
At the food stand, Bitcoin matters because small fees matter. When margins are tight, the difference between instant settlement and stacked transaction costs is easy to feel.
Merchant story
The neighbourhood shop
The shop story is about repetition. Merchants care less about novelty and more about whether customers can pay simply, reliably, and without friction.
Merchant story
The service business
For service businesses, payment shapes customer relationships. Fast settlement and easy tipping matter because they fit real habits rather than abstract ideals.
