Thank You, Bitcoin Community: Celebrating Our Students' Success! As the school semester comes to a close, we at the Orphans of Uganda Children Center Bugiri would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the global Bitcoin community. Your continued generosity — through the sats you keep spending on our children's education — is not just a donation, it’s a powerful investment in their future. Thanks to your support, our secondary school students have had the chance to stay in school, focus on their studies, and chase their dreams. We're excited to share that their hard work has paid off! End of Semester Highlights: 15 students successfully completed their term with strong attendance and commitment. 5 students ranked in the top 10 of their class. We saw major improvements in subjects like math, English, and science, where performance increased by over 20%. Two students received recognition for leadership and discipline at their respective schools. These results reflect not only the determination of our children but also the strength of the support system standing behind them — and that includes you. Your sats are doing more than you know: they’re building futures, lifting burdens, and inspiring hope. As we prepare for the next semester, we remain committed to transparency and impact. Expect updates on how every sat is being used to make a difference. From all of us — the children, caregivers, and our entire team — thank you. Bitcoin is more than money here. It’s love in action.

Don't Just Tell Them What Bitcoin Can Do—Teach Them, Let Them Experience It In a world flooded with information and promises, belief doesn’t come from words alone—it comes from experience. That's why in our community, we don't just talk about Bitcoin. We show people what it can do. And then, we guide them through the process so they can feel the power in their own hands. Whether it's a young orphan learning how to save their first satoshi, a single mother accepting Bitcoin for her handmade crafts, or a community leader sending value across borders without a bank—we don't give lectures. We give tools. We give knowledge. We give opportunity. Because when someone goes from hearing about Bitcoin to actually using it—to holding it, spending it, saving it—they don’t just believe us. They believe in themselves. Let’s build belief through action. Let’s teach, guide, and empower. Bitcoin isn’t just a currency. It’s a tool for freedom. And freedom begins with understanding.

We Made It — Slab Work Complete! Today, we celebrate a big milestone — the slab work for our orphanage home is complete! With determination, teamwork, and your support, we've made it this far. Every bit of progress brings us closer to providing a safe, loving, and permanent home for the orphans under our care. We’re now preparing to move into the next stage of construction. It’s a journey we cannot walk alone, and your support is still needed. It’s not too late to add your brick to this life-changing project — we still have pending costs that must be covered. Your contribution can be the difference. Join us in building a future for these children — one brick at a time. Support. Share. Stand with us.

Back to Our Roots – Liquid Soap for Self-Reliance At Back to Our Roots, we empower our young ones through hands-on learning in our liquid soap business. During school holidays, they learn how to make and sell liquid soap—and most importantly, how to earn and save in Bitcoin as part of our self-reliance projects. This small business helps provide essentials like books, pencils, and pens. Every bottle sold brings us closer to a more sustainable future. Support us! When you buy with Bitcoin, you get a 10% discount on each bottle. Our communities need this soap. And we need their support. Let’s build a future together—clean hands, strong minds, and economic freedom.

The Beautiful Pauses When You Realize Your Community Is Adopting Bitcoin There are moments on this journey that make you stop and truly take it all in — not because things are moving fast, but because something even bigger is happening: change is taking root. Today, as we moved through our work — paying for services, solving needs, and laying the foundation for our future — I caught myself pausing. Why? Because I realized: A few months ago, Bitcoin was just an idea here. Today, it's a tool people trust. Workers accept Bitcoin for their labor. Businesses are ready to receive Bitcoin for their goods. Solutions are happening instantly, without banks or long waits. These small, powerful pauses remind me: This is real adoption. This is ownership. This is freedom. Every time a transaction is made in Bitcoin — when a worker nods confidently after receiving payment, or a local supplier smiles knowing value has moved directly to them — it's a sign that we are no longer just talking about change. We are living it. And soon, the Bitcoin circular economy here will not just be an idea — it will be the normal way of life. We are building something unshakable. One pause, one payment, one breakthrough at a time. #BitcoinAdoption #CircularEconomy #BuildingTheFuture

The True Meaning of a Bitcoin Circular Economy When we talk about a Bitcoin circular economy, we don't mean just holding Bitcoin in a wallet and watching the price. We mean living with Bitcoin — building, creating, and solving real-world problems every day using it. Today was a perfect example. As we prepared our foundation slab, everything we needed was solved right there at the site. I made payments for the concrete mixer — not with cash, not with a bank transfer — but directly with Bitcoin. The mixer arrived, the work started, and value moved instantly, peer-to-peer. This is the heart of a Bitcoin circular economy: Immediate solutions without banks or delays. Direct exchange between people who create and people who need. Real work being done, real services being paid for, all powered by Bitcoin. It's more than just transactions — it’s a new way of living: building communities that are free, independent, and self-sustaining. When Bitcoin moves like this — fueling foundations, empowering workers, helping dreams take shape — that's when it truly becomes a living economy. And we're just getting started. #BitcoinCircularEconomy #BuildingWithBitcoin #FreedomMoney

A Glimpse of Hope from Our Bean Garden Just the view of how our garden for beans looks like is enough to fill our hearts with joy and motivation. It reminds us that the future is secure—not by chance, but through effort, patience, and faith. Slowly by slowly, we are getting there. This garden is more than just food; it is proof that transformation is real. That life can change. That when you plant a seed—both in the soil and in your heart—it will grow if you nurture it with hard work and belief. Bitcoin is helping us deal away with laziness. It’s teaching us discipline, value, and self-reliance. And as we continue this journey, this garden stands as living proof that where there is hope, things work out. One day, we shall look back and say: This is where the change began.

Final Touches on Backfilling – Laying the Ground for Our Future We’re now putting the final touches on the backfilling stage of our foundation. Each shovel of soil carefully placed and leveled is a step closer to a solid base for our future home. This is more than construction—it’s the foundation of our dreams, built with love, hope, and the power of community. With every completed stage, our vision becomes clearer and our determination stronger. Thank you for walking this journey with us. The best is yet to come. #FoundationComplete #BuildingDreams #Bitcoin #HouseProject #OrphansOfUganda

Back Home with Knowledge: Our Students Return with Bitcoin and Big Dreams Today marks a special moment for us at the orphanage—our older boys and girls have returned from school as the first semester comes to an end. But this return isn't just about taking a break. It’s a continuation of their learning journey, especially in a subject that’s empowering their future: Bitcoin. Over the past months, these students have been not just learning about Bitcoin but teaching others too. They’ve become true ambassadors—carrying knowledge about Bitcoin back to their schools. And the impact? Incredible. In a school of over 500 students, nearly everyone now has some awareness of what Bitcoin is and how it can change lives. This transformation wouldn’t be possible without the continuous support of Helping Hands and our Bitcoin community. Through this empowerment, our children aren’t just staying in school—they’re thriving, gaining digital and financial literacy, and shaping the future of Africa from the ground up. Meet the generation whose access to education has been unlocked through Bitcoin. Without this support, many of them would have been out of school, limited by financial challenges. But now, they are equipped with tools that allow them to dream bigger, build smarter, and grow stronger. We’re so proud of their journey—and we’re just getting started. #BitcoinEducation #EmpoweredByBitcoin #FutureLeaders #HelpingHands #AfricaBitcoin

Construction Progress: Building Foundations with Purpose and Bitcoin Support We’re excited to share an update on the progress of our construction project! At the moment, we’re in the backfilling stage, carefully leveling the ground with soil to prepare for the next steps. This stage is crucial—it helps us create a solid, stable foundation for everything that follows. Once the ground is ready, we’ll begin placing all the essential materials in position to ensure the construction moves forward smoothly. As always, having the building materials available on-site makes a huge difference. It speeds up the process, reduces delays, and helps our team stay focused on delivering quality work. But what truly makes this journey possible is the support we’re receiving through Bitcoin. Thanks to noOnes and the incredible backing of the Ray Foundation, everything is being made easier. Their support is not only financial—it’s transformational. The Ray Foundation is helping turn Africa into a Bitcoin-powered continent, and their commitment to empowering communities like ours is real, visible, and physical. We’re beyond grateful for this partnership and support. Every brick, every step forward, is powered by a global movement that believes in decentralization, transparency, and human dignity. Together, we're not just building structures—we're building hope, self-reliance, and a future filled with opportunity.
