Let’s Play pro Bachir Boumaaza trades on his popularity in the digital world to collect donations for people in need. On his platform, gamers can play online games for a small donation. Those donations go straight to worthy causes like the organization Save the Children. To garner publicity for his projects, the Belgian gaming pro also pays visits to developing countries. He creates videos that show how the donations are being used in countries like Liberia and Ethiopia.
