Charity based Water Project gets $23,000 worth bitcoin donation

The Water Project, a charitable organization that provides sustainable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa, has received an anonymous bitcoin donation worth $23,000.

According to the reports by newsbtc.com, 38 bitcoins were donated amounting to $23,000 from an anonymous account and two separate transactions were carried out with amounts of 30 BTC and 8 BTC.

“Today you gave enough BTC - totally anonymously - to provide clean, safe water and sanitation facilities to an entire school AND for the monitoring and repair funds to keep it working for years to come. We'll be identifying the exact site (likely in Sierra Leone or Kenya) and will post details on our Bitcoin Donation Page soon,” a reddit post by the water project team stated.

The Water Project is currently the lead charity partner of the "BitGive Donation Transparency Platform". The water team and BitGive team has been working to develop ideas in the cryptocurrency community. All bitcoin donations to the project are taxable as allowed by the law.

“We're co-developing a bitcoin-powered platform to enable small and highly transparent international payments to in-country partners for maintenance and repair of broken down water points,” the website read.

The project invites bitcoin donations where donors can provide 39.4309 BTC for water well and sanitation for a school/large community, 19.7154 BTC for small community water project, 0.276 BTC for clean and safe water for a family and 0.0559 BTC for clean and safe water for one person.
