Bitcoin Ekasi is an extension of The Surfer Kids Non-Profit.  The Surfer Kids is a donation-based youth-empowerment non-profit organization, founded in 2010.  Bitcoin Ekasi aims to use this well established platform to create a Bitcoin economy in the township already serviced by The Surfer Kids.  The Surfer Kids’ existing program operates 5 days a week, all year round, and is run by coaches from the same township community.  Bitcoin Ekasi aims to supplement these coaches’ salaries with Bitcoin, while simultaneously on-boarding township vendors to accept Bitcoin as payment.  This allows the coaches to spend their SATs buying groceries in the township, thereby introducing Bitcoin into the township economy.  All of this happens over the Lightning Network.  Bitcoin’s layer-two scaling solution, designed to expand the transaction throughout of the Bitcoin network to a truly global scale.
