The donation was made to Shin Fujiyama, a well-known philanthropist and founder of Students Helping Honduras, an organization focused on addressing poverty through education.

Fujiyama is currently on a 3,000-kilometer charity run to raise money for the school-building project. Inspired by President Bukele’s leadership and commitment to Bitcoin, Fujiyama expressed his gratitude in a video where he emotionally thanked the president for the donation. 
Bukele has been a vocal advocate for <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/09/19/nayib-chivo-bukele-the-el-salvador-president-who-loves-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> since making it legal tender in El Salvador in 2021. This donation aligns with his ongoing efforts to integrate Bitcoin into everyday life and use it for positive change.&nbsp; 
Despite some challenges with Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, Bukele remains committed to its future, having recently confirmed the country’s policy of purchasing one Bitcoin a day. 
The donation highlights Bukele’s broader vision of using Bitcoin for economic development and humanitarian causes. 
As Bitcoin continues to rise in value, this contribution will play a crucial role in helping Honduran communities through education.
