Charity used to be about bake sales and running marathons. Now it’s all about thumbnails, hashtags, and stunts.
Recently, MrBeast ran a massive campaign called #TeamWater - he partnered up with WaterAid and 10,000 other content creators. It raised over $40 million and is the biggest example so far in terms of number of influencers involved in a charitable campaign.
Now other influencers, and charities are following this trend - working together on campaigns.
Makuochi Okafor, a BBC reporter in Nigeria talks us through this growing trend and we hear from Gisela Amponsa, a Ghanaian digital creator, who was part of the #TeamWater campaign.
