ROLEXnot the watch · the ugandan one

for the children of Uganda

Buy a Rolex.
Help a kid.

In Uganda a rolex isn't a watch. It's the street breakfast everyone loves: an omelette rolled in a chapati. $ROLEX is a memecoin with one job: 100% of creator fees go to Cherish Uganda, a Ugandan-run home, school and health centre for children living with HIV. Every donation lands on this map as a rolex, with its transaction and receipt.

how it works

Three steps. All of them public.

01

Trade

Every $ROLEX trade pays a creator fee. All of it flows into one public fund wallet. Anyone can watch its balance live on this page.

02

Give

When the fund rolls a rolex (5 SOL), it is sent to Cherish Uganda through their official crypto donation page, powered by The Giving Block.

03

Prove

The transaction, the donation receipt and photos from the ground are added to the map as a new rolex. Click any rolex 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.

THE PROMISE

100% of creator fees.
Zero kept by the team.
Every rolex with a receipt.

ROLEX is an independent community project. It is not run by, affiliated with or endorsed by Cherish Uganda, and it has nothing to do with the watchmaker. We donate through Cherish's public donation page, exactly like any other donor.

the ledger

Every rolex, with proof.

The first rolex is on the pan. When the fund holds 5 SOL it goes to Cherish Uganda, and the transaction and receipt land here.

questions

Straight answers.

Why “rolex”?

Because in Uganda a rolex is “rolled eggs”: an omelette with tomato and cabbage, rolled in a fresh chapati and sold on every street corner for less than a dollar. Every Ugandan knows it. The rest of the world thinks of watches. That's the joke, and it's also the point: something small and ordinary that adds up.

Is $ROLEX 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 rolex 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.
