Youtube star Hassan Suleiman (known as AboFlah) launched a livestream campaign titled "The World’s Coolest Winter" to raise humanitarian support for more than 100,000 refugees.
The Youtuber managed to achieve two incredible world records during his livestream for the following:
His incentive, which was organized by The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (UAE), managed to raise a whopping $11 million USD (£8.1 million).
The donations were used to support refugees and families in need in Africa and the Arab world by providing food, winter clothing, blankets, mattresses and critical aid to help displaced men, women and children prepare for harsh winter conditions.
It all began when AboFlah decided to lock himself up in a glass box and stream the whole thing until he reaches his goal of raising $10 million dollars.
The box was located at Burj Park near the tallest building on Earth, the Burj Khalifa. He was live-streaming his whole experience to his millions of subscribers on YouTube.
Burj Khalifa, in Downtown Dubai lit up with an image of AboFlah following his achievement.
AboFlah is not new to creative charity donation livestreams. In the span of 4 months, he managed to run three charity donations with the latest being the largest.
