Bitcoin Ekasi is based in Mossel Bay, South Africa. The project aims to build a Bitcoin circular economy modeled after (and inspired by) Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador. Bitcoin Ekasi is an extension of The Surfer Kids Non-Profit. The Surfer Kids is a registered non-profit organization, founded in 2010. The NPO is 100% donation-based and works to create youth-empowerment in an impoverished South African township.
