Spotted this in Reddit, and in 4h she already has over 1.7BTC in donations.  It is always amazing to see how frictionless this thing is; some woman in point of Africa gets a quite nice sum of money from all around the world in few hours. Quite nice :)

The address she was promoting:
https://blockchain.info/address/12b1DiJs7FpzGHtjhPnpZBfK6Tn9LvWrVv (https://blockchain.info/address/12b1DiJs7FpzGHtjhPnpZBfK6Tn9LvWrVv)

In b4 people start correctly guessing this could be used as laundering methods for al shabab, etc. Anyone who thinks more with bleeding heart than brains will soon find themselves being questioned about why they sent money to someone in africa without fully understanding who might be on the other side.

Also, if you think they have found a solution by getting some bitcoins, you are sadly mistaken. They will do their very best to hide the fact that they are into it at all.

She deserves heartfelt congratulations and bitcoin donations.

The world needs more people like her.  And less bigotry!

Not to sound like an asshole or anything, I mean this is really nice and good charity and all.

But I think third-world countries who are going through difficult times need more then just money thrown at them to solve the problems they're having. Again, not to denounce this because it's still nice to hear stories like this, but I think Botswana needs more support in the form of a good Infrastructure and Governmental overhauls; serious long-term goals rather then just some money. 

Botswana are relatively advanced and stable in comparison to most of the continent, but good on her nonetheless.

That is true, but a big change can't suddenly happen by itself, it has to grow from smaller initiatives (especially when governments don't want things to change). Actions like these fuel a lot of these small, yet important improvements.

That lady does more for BTC than most of you. Even if she'd be only looking for some satoshis, she will be an ambassador as she will spread word about it. So stfu and spare some satoshis...

Just an FYI, she is the founder of Bitcoin Botswana. The very group the Quantum Leap Foundation Inc. is working with.

The Quantum Leap Foundation Inc. has been working directly with her since her first article was published on motherboard.vice.com! A followup story will soon be posted, but if you would like to see the progress please visit the following link(s)!

Women are not little, I know that my friends and I also like to sit on the bureau to find out the prices, participation in the bounty also attracts, as well as long-term investments.
