Since news.Bitcoin.com profiled Eatbch, a nonprofit based on the BCH network, in April, the group has not only been feeding Venezuelans, but also branching out to help citizens of South Sudan. Eatbch continues to feed those in need, and on BCH’s stress test day in early September, it received small transactions totaling three BCH ($1,600)

Eatbch received 2,000 small transactions worth three BCH on stress test day

The non-profit organization Eatbch is undoubtedly one of the best-known charities in the BCH community. They did so because, like many others, they believed that BCH, a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, was promoting economic freedom and helping others in an uncensored way. Fees become a burden on cryptocurrency networks, essentially killing some applications, such as microtransactions, which exclude residents of economically distressed countries from the “fee market.” As opposed to networks where fees fluctuate wildly, BCH blockchain is proving that blockchains can be used for small transactions in a variety of ways. Just in time for the BCH stress test this week, the non-profit organization Eatbch received thousands of small transactions that day, totaling three BCHS.

Eatbch works in Venezuela and South Sudan, providing food to people there through BCH. Both countries and their people are suffering from a severe economic crisis, with most people struggling to get food, medicine and basic necessities. Eatbch has three Twitter accounts that you can follow to see how they help people in need.

According to a page on the Eatbch Venezuela account, the team is feeding families, mothers, seniors, children, and anyone who is suffering from hunger through BCH donations from the community. On August 26, the region was hit by an earthquake. Eatbch Venezuela managed to get food to them despite all the difficulties.

“Due to the recent earthquake, power outages and shop closures, some of our work sites were unable to provide food this week,” the team said.

However, here are some photos of where food can be served.

Feeding the People of South Sudan Eatbch South Sudan also helped a large number of families and people who were short of basic necessities. On August 26, the Eatbch South Sudan team released photos of displaced people living in the Mahad camp in Juba, South Sudan. On that day, the group said, people there received staples (corn flour, oil, beans) that the young people in the group bought with BCH.

On August 27, the team said:

The food distributed was purchased with BCH donations at MAHAD, an informal refugee camp in Juba, South Sudan that houses more than 3,000 people displaced by the conflict in Jonglei State. We gave the food to the older women, and they gave it out in the community.

Both South Sudan and Venezuela are suffering from severe economic crises, poor infrastructure and centralised governments. Bitcoin Cash shows that the technology can help people in a permissionless way, and Eatbch is just one example of how cryptocurrencies and small transactions can drive economic freedom.
