Web 3 expert, Lavender Esther Khayali, leads community participation for the ETHSafari Gitcoin round, supporting African hackathon teams in securing funding and promoting project submissions through education and social media.

Greetings,

I am Lavender Esther Khayali, a Kenyan professional actively engaged in the Web 3 ecosystem since 2022. My profound fascination with the dynamic evolution of Web 3 and its innovative advancements has been a driving force in my career.

I hold expertise as a smart contract developer and currently serve as the esteemed Community Lead for H.E.R. DAO Kenya, and I am also keen on DAO Governance. In this capacity, I have dedicatedly contributed to the inclusive onboarding of womxn into the realm of Web 3, primarily through hackathons and conferences.

One notable recent endeavor includes my active involvement in the ETHSafari '23 hackathon, where I played a pivotal role in nurturing the HDK Hackers teams from ideation to project submission. I am incredibly proud to share that some of these teams secured first place at the ETHSafari '23 hackathon.

The ETHSafari Gitcoin round holds a special place in my heart, not only for being the inaugural Gitcoin round following a hackathon in Africa but also for my unwavering commitment to supporting these teams in presenting their most exceptional projects for consideration of funding.

I aspire to make meaningful contributions to the forthcoming ETHSafari Gitcoin round by undertaking the following initiatives:

  1. Mobilizing the community for active participation in the Gitcoin round.
  2. Cultivating a deep understanding of marketing strategies and crafting promotional content to effectively showcase the ETHSafari Gitcoin round on various social media platforms, notably Twitter.
  3. Providing unwavering support to the participating teams in their journey to present their most outstanding projects, ensuring they meet the prerequisites of the Gitcoin round.
  4. Hosting enlightening webinars and engaging discussions on Twitter Spaces, designed to educate and empower the community on actively contributing to the Gitcoin round.
  5. Ensuring that every individual or team registering for the Gitcoin round gains access to essential resources and instructional materials that will facilitate the setup of multi-sig wallets and successful project submission.

I am fervently dedicated to advancing the cause of Web 3 and fostering an inclusive environment for all enthusiasts. I am committed to contributing to making the ETHSafari Gitcoin round a success, marked by innovation and community engagement.

Warm regards,

Lavender Esther Khayali
