Dear respected Celo community,
As part of my voluntary representation of Celo in Afghanistan, I have launched a Facebook page and a Telegram group named “Celo Afghanistan.”
Purpose of this initiative:
To raise awareness among the people of Afghanistan and other Persian-speaking communities about the Celo ecosystem and to provide an accessible platform for education, discussion, and community growth.
Importance of this initiative:
Many individuals in Afghanistan and Persian-speaking countries such as Iran and Tajikistan are still not fully familiar with the mission, tools, and capabilities of Celo (including cUSD, mobile focus, and environmental sustainability).
Language barriers and limited digital literacy restrict their meaningful participation in the Web3 space.
Popular platforms like Facebook and Telegram serve as effective tools to educate and engage with local communities.
Implementation:
The “Celo Afghanistan” Facebook page has been created to share news, educational content, and related materials in Persian.
The Telegram group offers a space for discussions, user support, and Q&A sessions.
All content is produced in simple and local language, including video tutorials, translated articles, and guides on using the Celo Wallet and cUSD.
Specific goals:
Build a local and volunteer-driven Celo community in Afghanistan and the Persian-speaking region
Educate users on blockchain basics, decentralized finance (DeFi), and related financial tools
Identify local talents for future participation in Celo projects
Provide a safe and friendly environment for learning, experience sharing, and collaboration
Final vision:
This initiative is more than just a media project; it is a vital step toward empowering people with decentralized tools to improve financial well-being. By bringing the message of Celo closer to the community, we open doors to financial freedom and genuine participation in the digital economy for underserved populations.
I appreciate the attention and support of all Celo community members and welcome your feedback and guidance.
With respect and commitment,
