Chamuze partners with BOOM to tackle the food crisis: 2 million meals for Nigerians.
Lagos, Nigeria, April 16, 2024- Chamuze, Nigeria’s leading e-commerce consultancy and distribution giant, is proud to announce a partnership with BOOM, a blockchain-based e-commerce ecosystem and digital payments platform, in support of the Boomcoin-To-Meals (B2M) initiative. This collaboration aims to address the severe high cost of buying food that affects millions of Nigerians due to the recent spike in inflation.
Boom is leading the B2M initiative to provide food bundles to two million Nigerians. One boomcoin (BMC) will be airdropped to eligible recipients to achieve this. 1 BMC will feed a Nigerian for a day. Accordingly, the Boom Foundation has committed 1 million BMC for this cause, valued at $6.23 million, or NGN6.23 billion. It will match 1:1 every BMC donated by interested parties, up to 500,000 BMC, allowing everyone to participate in the initiative and make a difference in the debilitating situation in Nigeria today.
Chamuze’s involvement in this initiative reflects its commitment to leveraging technology for social impact and addressing pressing humanitarian challenges.
Sunday Oloyede, the Director of Business Process at Chamuze, said, “As a Nigerian e-commerce platform deeply invested in our community, Chamuze recognizes the urgency of the food crisis facing our fellow Nigerians, and by partnering with Boom on the B2M initiative, we aim to provide immediate relief to those in need while showcasing the transformative potential of blockchain technology in humanitarian efforts.”
“We are excited to partner with Chamuze on this initiative. It is not just about providing immediate relief; it’s about forging a meaningful foundation for sustainable development and economic stability through blockchain. We recognize Chamuze’s dedication to leveraging technology for social impact, and together, we aim to make a significant difference in the lives of Nigerians affected by the cost of living crisis.” Peter Alfred-Adekeye, Founder and CEO of Boom.
Seeing the hardships his people throughout Africa face daily due to their lack of access to financial infrastructure, Peter founded Boom to provide the unbanked and underserved with the ability to buy, sell, pay, and get paid online without banking. Furthermore, with Boom, Africans can now pay for goods and services across borders in their local currencies.
The ongoing food crisis in Nigeria has left millions of people food insecure, exacerbating economic hardships and hindering development. Through the B2M initiative, Boom and Chamuze are taking proactive steps to alleviate the suffering of vulnerable populations and promote long-term socio-economic empowerment.
To participate in the B2M initiative, eligible Nigerians can download the Boom app, complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, and receive their airdropped BMC. With these tokens, customers can then purchase specially curated food packages on the Boom marketplace, providing sustenance for individuals and families in need.
