Fire Brigades Association becomes first Kenyan labor union to hold BTC
The union’s adoption was facilitated by a “get off zero” donation and partnership with Proof of Workforce.
The Kenya National Fire Brigades Association (KENFIBA) has purportedly become the first labor union in the country to adopt a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve.
Funded through a “get off zero” donation facilitated by Proof of Workforce, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping unions and workers adopt Bitcoin, the announcement took place at the Africa Bitcoin Conference on Dec. 11.
According to a social media post from Proof of Workforce, the cryptocurrency fund will serve to help expand Kenya’s firefighting efforts. The nonprofit also said that KENFIBA may not just be the first union in Kenya to adopt Bitcoin, it may very well be the first of its kind on the entire continent.
