Charity events on Twitch
Charitable projects are multiplying on the streaming platform, such as the famous Z Event, which made it possible to raise more than 10 million euros for ecological associations in 2022.

Every year, the Z Event breaks records and raises astronomical amounts of money. Since 2019, he has held the world record for charity live that raised the most funds on Twitch. Absent in 2023, Zerator ensured the return of the event This year.
At the start of the year, Mister MV brought together more than 2 million euros with his SpeeDons video game marathonfor the benefit of Médecins du monde.
A few weeks later Furax took place, a Twitch charity event organized for raise awareness and inform about cyberviolence, the rights of victims and possible remedies. Founded by Nat’Ali and Joul, this second edition was supported by the Afrogameuses association.
The donations collected were donated to the association Féministes Contre le Cyberharassement. Through this project, Nat’Ali wanted to denounce the “double punishment” of women who participate in important concepts organized by content creators.
