Every $CRANE trade pays a creator fee. All of it flows into one public fund wallet. Anyone can watch its balance live on this page.
how it works
Three steps. All of them public.
Give
When the fund reaches 5 SOL, it is sent to Cherish Uganda through their official crypto donation page, powered by The Giving Block.
Prove
The transaction, the donation receipt and photos from the ground land on the map as a new crane. Click any crane to check it yourself on Solscan.
where it goes
Cherish Uganda
Bulega Village · Wakiso District · since 2007
Cherish began with one HIV-positive child in a crib and a promise that HIV would not be a death sentence. Today it is a home, two schools and a health centre run by more than fifty Ugandan staff.
- Health centre. HIV testing and care, malaria, tuberculosis, malnutrition and maternity care for the whole village.
- Two schools. HIV-positive and HIV-negative children learn side by side, and the stigma ends in the classroom.
- Families first. Instead of taking children away, Cherish helps their families care for them at home.
- Accountable. 100% Ugandan-run on site, ECFA accredited, with a registered US partner (Cherish A Child USA).
Why now: when US foreign aid was frozen in 2025, Cherish warned that the HIV medication for its patients depends on PEPFAR-funded programmes. Independent money matters.

questions
Straight answers.
Why “crane”?
Because the grey crowned crane is Uganda's national bird. It stands in the middle of the flag and on the coat of arms, one leg raised, a sign of a country moving forward. Cranes pair for life and raise their chicks together. Today they are endangered as their wetlands disappear. The symbol of a whole country, looking after its young: that's the idea.
Is $CRANE a charity?
No. It is a memecoin, and memecoins are speculative. What makes it different is where the creator fees go: all of them are donated, publicly, to a real Ugandan organisation.
Who decides when to donate?
The rule does. Every time the fund wallet reaches 5 SOL, it is donated. The wallet is public, so if a crane is late, everyone can see it.
Why The Giving Block and not a direct transfer?
It is the crypto donation processor Cherish Uganda uses on its own website. Each donation produces a receipt, which we publish next to the transaction.
Can I help without buying anything?
Yes. You can donate to Cherish Uganda directly on their donation page. You can also leave a light on the map. It costs nothing and shows Uganda that people are watching.
