Givers

Based in Tokyo, Givers is a student-led volunteer organization from Sophia University with over 170 members, working to improve the lives of underprivileged children in El Salvador through education, economic empowerment, and Bitcoin.

Their initiative — Make the Future of Hundreds of Children — raised 26M sats (~$7,600) from 80 contributors, combining Bitcoin adoption with meaningful, on-the-ground humanitarian impact.


What Made the Project Successful

  • Powerful mission: Blended social good with Bitcoin adoption — proving Bitcoin can fund education, health, and empowerment.

  • Trust from donors: Their authenticity and consistency attracted larger donors who boosted the campaign’s visibility and momentum.

  • Community engagement: Active online and offline through podcasts, events, and outreach across Japan.
