Famous streamer Kai Cenat has revealed plans to donate a portion of his streaming money over the next 30 days to assist his mission to build a school in Nigeria.

Cenat first traveled to Nigeria in March and visited the Makoko Children Development Foundation School and Orphanage. The principal of the school sought help in rebuilding the school as it was in a poor condition.

“This building is coming down, it’s sinking,” the principal told Cenat in a video. “So, we are looking for support to [break] it down and rebuild it.”

Cenat promised to help. Using Instagram Stories, the streamer recently shared his plans for the school he visited.

Along with a photo of the students, he wrote: “I visited Nigeria not too long ago & absolutely loved it so I say that to say this for the next 30 days while I’m streaming 20% of ALL REVNUE [sic] will be going straight to the school that I am still currently building for the kids of Mokoko.”

In another post, he shared a digital design sketch of the school with the caption, “Here is some of the layouts of what I plan to do! A lot of this support in the next month will help BIG! Thank you.”

Sportkseeda reports that this comes after his formal launch of Mafiathon 2, which is scheduled to take place throughout November.

Cenat, like many other streamers, is familiar with the subathon, a practice in which creators stream nonstop for a long time in an attempt to increase their number of subscribers and followers.

Cenat named his subathon “Mafiathon” after his fandom, the “Kai Mafia”. According to Dexerto, his first major subathon began in February 2023 and swiftly rose to prominence, surpassing notable personalities like Ninja and Ludwig and shattering Twitch’s record for the most subscribers.

The streamer welcomed some celebrities to his first subathon in 2023, and on the first day of his second subathon, he collaborated with popular rapper Lil Uzi Vert in a thrilling initiative.

Only a few days into Mafiathon 2, the publication reported that Cenat is nearly halfway to breaking another streamer, IronMouse’s record of over 312,000 subscribers, with more to follow.
