My wife works with people who have Parkinson’s and helps raise funds for PPSOE in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. So I would like to help her, and also help orange pill the folks in Ethiopia with my effort. There are however a couple challenges I can see. Just for context, the poverty there means that the money goes to very basic things like walking aids, blankets, perhaps meds, food etc.
- The BTC will very likely be converted to local fiat (Burr) which creates a challenge. Find a willing buyer on Robosats?
- Transactions in Bitcoin are illegal there. So buying with Bitcoin is not a good idea. (Definite jail time)
- What other problems might I encounter?
