Having an idea for a construction project is one thing. Having the means to bring it to completion is another.

Some of you may have wondered: Who is this person behind this project?

Today, through these words, I want to give you that answer.

My name is Audel TK. I am a 25-year-old African living in Benin.

In 2020, I obtained my Baccalauréat. After that, I trained myself in community management, social media management and digital work, mostly on my own because my parents did not have the financial means to pay for university studies or the expensive training programs I wanted to follow.

In 2021, I attended a conference where I heard about Bitcoin for the first time. My curiosity pushed me to learn more about it. I started participating in Bitcoin giveaways, sometimes using the sats I earned to cover my daily expenses. I also began offering my services and receiving payments in Bitcoin.

Then, at the beginning of 2025, something happened that changed the way I looked at Bitcoin.

One day, while I was at the beach, I saw small children turning themselves into living statues to collect money from passersby so they could eat. I approached them and discovered that they were children living on the streets.

I asked myself one simple question:

What can Bitcoin do for these children, for people facing difficult situations, and for those who are often forgotten?

The answer I found was hope.

That is where @HopeWithBTC was born.

The project was officially launched on January 8, 2025, with our very first action: buying food for children living on the streets.

Since then, thanks to the Bitcoin community, Hope With Bitcoin has grown and has already:

• 5,661,375 sats raised
• 70+ contributors
• 532 children directly supported
• 3 orphanages reached
• 184 meals distributed
• 106 school kits provided
• 35 students supported
• 284 people educated about Bitcoin
• 5 humanitarian missions completed
• 2 countries reached

And this is only possible because people from the Bitcoin community decided to become builders of hope with us.

Now, I am building something for myself.

Since June 2026, the space where I currently work on Hope With Bitcoin has been a room that I share with my brother.

It has become increasingly difficult to work, create content, have professional calls, meet potential partners or sponsors, and develop my skills in proper conditions.

So I asked my parents for permission to build a simple workspace on the family rooftop.

They gave me permission.

And that's how this new construction project started.

The space will not simply be a bedroom.

It will become a place where I can work on Hope With Bitcoin, have professional calls with sponsors and partners, develop my skills, learn new things and work without constantly disturbing or being disturbed by others.

The construction is divided into several phases:

1. Stairs to access the rooftop ✅
2. Walls and structure
3. Roofing
4. Finishing work: electricity, plumbing, windows, furniture and other necessities

The first phase, the staircase, has now been completed.

Watch the recap video of the staircase construction here.

The next step is to start building the walls.

And once again, I am asking the community for support.

You don't necessarily have to send me Bitcoin.

You can support me by giving me an opportunity to earn Bitcoin, connecting me with someone who needs my skills, offering me work, sharing this project with someone who might be able to help, or simply helping me spread the word.

I am also building Hope With Bitcoin as a volunteer. I do not receive a salary or take financial rewards from the project.

So this construction is not about creating a luxury space. It is about creating the conditions I need to continue building, working, learning and serving others more effectively.

I have attached some representations of what I am trying to build.

The idea is simple:

Build a small space. Create better working conditions. Keep building Hope With Bitcoin.

One step is already completed. Now we build the walls.

One step at a time. One satoshi at a time.
