About Us
What we do and why
Over 1.7 million refugees in Uganda struggle to make ends meet on a daily basis, refugee support remains limited. The Bitcoin Innovation Hub was started to assist these refugees with more opportunities, resources, job training and placement, and to prevent further human trafficking of migrants in seeking better lives. Our team, comprised of refugees, strives to strengthen our commitment and connection to those we serve.
