Thank you so much. It's so great to hear support for our work and how it represents the Bitcoin community in a positive way. We strive very hard to be an organization that the community is proud to have.
I also got to use MPesa and BitPesa while in Kenya, and it was super easy! MPesa is completely embedded in the culture and daily routine there, so opening it up to Bitcoin with BitPesa is brilliant!
Thanks again for the supportive words!

It's always heart warming to see stories like this... The good side of Bitcoin in motion. We always hear the bad side {MtGox / Silkroad etc. etc.} but we know there are two sides to a story.
I also try to do more good than bad, and this project is spot on with it's location in a country where people are already using "digital money" in the form of Mpesa.
Good luck with your project, and I will add you as a charity in my coming project to help charities.

Hi All,
I haven't posted here in awhile! Wanted to share this great 4-part series we put out this week on BitGive and the Bitcoin-funded water well just completed in Kenya! There were several threads and efforts on this forum that contributed to us and our work, so thank you and thank you to all the donors!
We also are producing a video about the water well, and have a short trailer released now. The longer video will be coming out later this year. Video production is sponsored by BitPesa and LibraTax.
Our Blog is a great place to access all four parts in the Bitcoin Magazine series and the video as well - all in one click!
