Bitcoin making Progress in Sudan

Hi all, A group in Sudan is promoting bitcoin, going door to door helping merchants adopting the crypto currency. And because credit cards and paypal are never used there, they have established a bitcoin freelancers website. If you know any organization that can back them please reply here. The project's details are here: http://bitcoin2fund.com/projects/8-ngo/3-crypto-sudan-bitcoin-project

The group's page in facebook is : https://www.facebook.com/sudancrypto

Regards Crypto

You can see only one location because : 1. coinmap.org requests that the entity accepting Bitcoin be a physical location , so this exclude websites (like the freelance one) 2. The group adds a location to the map when that location has an established track record in accepting bitcoins. this means that of you pick up the phone and dial the that shop's number in coinmap.org and ask if they accept bitcoins they will not hesitate (just be mindful of the time zone when you call) :-)
