Orphanage in Uganda That Runs on Bitcoin Celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day with a Road Trip
On May 22, 2025, children from the Orphans of Uganda Children’s Center, an orphanage in eastern Uganda that’s part of the Bitcoin Kampala community, took a road trip to the zoo thanks in part to bitcoin donations from around the world.
The team that helps fund and run the the orphanage chose to take the trip on Bitcoin Pizza Day to show the orphans, many of whom had never left the village in which the orphanage is located, that anything is possible, much like Laszlo Hanyecz showed the world that paying for goods and services in bitcoin is possible when he paid 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas on May 22, 2010.
