The initiative had earlier built a Nursery school in the country. The school which is the first #BuiltWithBitcoin project is located in Kasebigege Village in Bugesera District in Rwanda. Paxful had donated about R660,000 in bitcoin to aid in the construction of the nursery school in 2017. The initiative had also awarded about R200,000 worth of scholarships to female Afghan refugees to help them pursue their careers in the United States.
