Built With Bitcoin Foundation was founded by Ray Youssef and Yusuf Nessary and grew out of a charitable initiative originally backed by Paxful, which contributed $50,000 in bitcoin toward a nursery school in Rwanda at launch. The foundation built its first school in Rwanda in its founding year and has since expanded its footprint across Africa. A Machakos, Kenya project delivered a hybrid nursery and primary school with six classrooms, a technology center, and a sustainable water well. In Nigeria, the foundation completed a water well serving roughly 1,000 people while delivering Bitcoin education in the community's native language. In Ghana, it opened a Bitcoin Technology Center offering instruction in Bitcoin, finance, entrepreneurship, and programming, and compensated construction workers in bitcoin.
Built With Bitcoin Foundation had previously received backing from Paxful, which no longer supports the foundation in that capacity. By 2022, the organization had constructed or repaired ten schools, completed seven solar projects, and built more than a dozen water and farming systems. A 2022 report indicated that 92% of donations went directly to projects, with 8% covering administrative costs. Built With Bitcoin Foundation joined The Giving Block to accept cryptocurrency donations and also raised funds through student-created NFT artwork. The foundation maintains affiliations with Zam Zam Water as an implementation partner, Blockchain Foundation Africa, Bitcoin Ekasi, and BTC Inc. The organization's website has shown signs of recent inactivity.
