0:00In this video, we are building
ten schools all around the world.
0:03Over 200 million children sadly
don't have access to a safe school,
0:07so I took it upon myself to not only
build schools for these kids,
0:10but also keep them fed for years,
0:13save them from illegal child labor farms,
0:15and to prevent them
from drinking infected water.
0:17We don't need to film this.
0:20This video will change the lives
0:22of tens of thousands of people
around the world.
0:26Which brings us to
our first school in Ghana.
0:29No, that's the old school.
0:31Do you think I would build that?
0:33You know what that means, Chandler…
0:35Let's tear down
this rust bucket of a school!
0:43This school is so dangerous
0:44that it was actually ordered
by government officials to be torn down.
0:49Who's ready to see the new school?
0:54Go check out your new school.
Go have fun!
0:58What do you guys think of it?
1:02We're also, within walking distance,
building them a brand-new well.
1:07I love seeing them all this happy.
Let's keep building schools!
1:10And that's only the start of all the lives
we're going to positively impact.
1:14Now, unlike the last school,
this one doesn't need to be torn down.
1:19Yeah, I can take that.
Yeah…
1:21So, we're gonna completely refurbish it.
1:23It was crazy to think that over 250 kids
go to school here in these conditions.
1:30So, we wanted to go
all out for them.
1:31Step one is repainting the walls.
1:35You're leaving the short parts for me.
1:37Yes. Why do you think
you're here, babe?
1:39I understand my role.
1:41New ceiling,
new walls, new floor.
1:45And not only did we fix
their old classrooms…
1:49but we built them two
brand-new school rooms
1:51that the kids have never seen before.
1:54This is their first time seeing
their brand-new classrooms.
1:58Go check it out--
Oh my gosh, look how excited they are.
2:00I was not lying when I said
over 250 kids go to school here,
2:04and now they have two brand-new classrooms
that they can learn in.
2:08What do you guys think
of the new classrooms?
2:10Yeah? [chuckles]
They're so happy!
2:13Here, let's go inside.
2:14-So, we are very happy for this!
-Yes.
2:16And we are proud of your people.
2:22Some of these kids have never played
with a toy in their entire life.
2:25They are having so much freaking fun
2:27just hanging out and messing around.
2:29Not only will school attendance go up,
2:31but they're also gonna have
way more fun.
2:33I'm so happy we did this project.
2:36The principal told me
that those two teachers
2:38spend a third of their salary
on getting to work,
2:40and up to an hour a day
driving to this school,
2:43which obviously is very brutal
and not sustainable and why…
2:46Joseph and Emmanuel,
take off your blindfolds…
2:49and look at your brand new home!
2:53[both exclaiming] Wow!
2:56Let's go check it out.
2:58Look at this bad boy.
3:06You guys aren't sharing this apartment.
3:08This is your apartment.
3:10-Come with me.
-Oh, really?
3:15[overlapping] Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…
3:18No, thank you guys
for being great teachers.
3:20And we didn't stop here
with these apartments.
3:22When we first got here,
3:23I noticed something
I just couldn't ignore.
3:27Uh, we don't need to film this.
3:28For over a decade now,
3:29this river is where the entire village
gets their water from.
3:32And nearly 80% of their population,
including kids,
3:35have parasitic worms
in their intestines.
3:37It literally breaks my heart.
3:39So we drilled them a brand-new well,
not only for the school,
3:42but for the hundreds of people
in the surrounding community.
3:44Chandler, you know what that is?
3:47The schools will now have
clean water to drink.
3:50We also built bathrooms
3:51so they no longer have to
pee and poop in the woods.
3:53And we built sinks over here
3:55that gets water
from their brand-new well.
3:57And we even built a kitchen.
3:59We are going all out for this school.
4:02This kitchen has everything they'll need
to provide school lunches every day.
4:06I wanted to tell you guys,
4:07every single school day
for the next five years…
4:10We're gonna give
all the students a free lunch.
4:13I'm just out of words.
4:15I don't even know what to say!
4:16Pick a date anywhere
on this calendar.
4:19May of 2030,
we'll give them free meals.
4:23Just like that.
It's covered.
4:24I'm super excited. I'm--
4:27-Yeah?
-I'm gonna tell them.
4:28Yeah, go tell 'em.
Go for it.
4:29-I'm gonna tell them.
-Ok.
4:31For the next five years,
4:33they are going to feed all of us
4:43Shoutout to the Rockefeller Foundation,
4:45for helping us out with such a
worthy cause.
4:47You guys don't have to
chant my name.
4:50[chanting] MrBeast! MrBeast!
4:52Thank you.
You don't have to.
4:54We actually spent
over half a million dollars
4:57on this compound right here.
4:58Not including any other schools.
Just here.
5:01And, uh, we're not done.
5:02That figure's gonna cross over $1 million
by the end of this year,
5:05just into developing this school
and the community around it,
5:08to, you know, better the lives
of the kids and the teachers.
5:11The structures we built
will impact generations to come.
5:14And it's kind of funny,
because we built so much here,
5:17that they actually named me
Chief of Development.
5:20Jimmy, when you say it,
you do it.
5:22You didn't have to go
this above and beyond,
5:27This is our next school.
5:29And kids, can you please leave?
5:30I need all of you
to just get out of here.
5:32Because, you see,
this building we're in
5:35And the roof could collapse on them
while they're just learning,
5:38which they learn here
every single day
5:40and is completely unacceptable.
5:43we're going to start
tearing down this school,
5:45because I don't want these kids
to be killed while learning.
5:49I mean, that is literally one of the most
tragic things that could ever happen.
5:52Which is why we replaced their old school
5:54with this brand-new, two-story school!
5:57With this school now doubled in size,
5:59over 300 children
can now attend this school
6:02that now has eight massive,
fully-furnished classrooms.
6:05Thank you, MrBeast,
for caring for our children.
6:11And right beside the brand-new
two-story school,
6:13we built a well powered by solar panels
with a water storage facility.
6:17And this water isn't just for the school,
6:19it also is for the thousand people
that live in this community around here.
6:22We're not here to check boxes
and build schools.
6:24We're here to fundamentally
change the lives of the communities.
6:27Providing a safe school for these kids
6:29means they're not forced
into illegal child labor.
6:32Feastables is adamant about paying farmers
living-income reference prices
6:36and auditing and remediating
child labor on our farms.
6:39And that's why I built schools
in eleven different communities
6:42for the children of Ghana.
6:45But child labor
isn't the only problem we're fixing.
6:48This next school is so run down
6:50it's nearly impossible
for the students to learn.
6:52This is what
their old classrooms looked like.
6:54When it rains, it floods.
6:56Yeah, and then the water also gets in,
6:58so it's very muddy when it's raining.
7:00So over the next several months,
7:02we built them an entirely new school
from the ground up.
7:05The last of the seven classrooms
is now done.
7:08Let's see what the kids think.
7:10No joke, none of the teachers
have let any of these kids in.
7:13This is the very first time
they've ever been inside.
7:16It looks like they're excited
for their new classrooms.
7:19They are loving the new school.
7:21This is why we're doing this video.
7:23And we didn't just build them
a brand-new school,
7:25including providing each of the classrooms
with brand-new desks, but also,
7:29eight months ago, we built this kitchen
for the old school that was here.
7:32And every single school day
for the next five years at this school,
7:35we are giving every student free food.
7:38We're gonna need more classrooms, Jimmy.
7:39There's gonna be more kids wanting food.
7:40That's why we built seven.
7:42-Oh, we just did that.
-[Jimmy] Yeah.
7:43Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.
7:44Let's go to the next school.
7:45This is a school feeding program
that we actually set up a year ago,
7:49and here we are a year later,
7:50and the school lunch program
is still in effect.
7:52Every single school day,
the kids are getting a free school lunch.
7:55And because of our meal program,
7:57school attendance has gone up
10% and climbing.
7:59And when I saw the state
of these classrooms during that video,
8:02I knew we had to do something.
8:04Which is why, of course,
we hooked them up with a brand-new school.
8:07And we didn't just build these students
one classroom…
8:13Not three classrooms…
8:18We built them ten classrooms.
8:20And all ten of these combined
8:21is just one of the ten schools
we're building in this video.
8:25Let's see what the kids think.
8:26Are you ready to see your new classroom?
8:30You wanna come see it?
8:32Look how excited they are
to see their new classroom.
8:34[chanting] New class! New class!
8:37[chanting] New class! New class!
8:40They're grabbing my hand. Aw.
8:46If it weren't for the school
that we just built,
8:48these kids would go to school every day
in fear of their own classrooms.
8:52And it warms my heart to know they're safe
in a school we built for them.
8:55You guys like the new classroom?
8:59You guys gotta stay in school.
9:01I built this just for you guys.
9:02But there's so many other students
around the world
9:04who don't even have a school themselves.
9:06And we're gonna build
the first high school
9:08this town has ever had.
9:10This entire town has to share one school
9:13from middle school
all the way through high school.
9:15Their principal is forced to work
out of her car.
9:18And we're here to build them
a brand-new high school.
9:21And we start by building
each individual wall
9:23and linking them together.
9:24When I was picturing building schools,
I didn't think it would be this.
9:27I thought it'd be a hammer
and a nail or something.
9:30Ok, one wall down.
Wall number two.
9:33There we go!
Wall number three.
9:34This school is coming together
very quickly.
9:38Still gotta pour concrete in.
9:40We're building nice schools, trust me.
9:42Let's lock it in place
and bring in the roof.
9:44Now, me and fifty volunteers
9:45are just gonna throw the roof
on the school.
9:47Some might call it raising the roof.
9:50I'll give it to you, that was good.
9:52[Jimmy] Oh, they're going.
9:55[Nolan] I'm not even touching it!
9:56[stutters] Nolan's not tall enough.
10:01So now, as you can see,
we have half the roof.
10:03Now, we just gotta do the other side.
10:05We look like we're about to go to war.
10:07Here they come. Ready?
10:11[Jimmy] This thing is heavy.
10:12[Nolan] Second roof is up!
10:14This next-gen building material
will be filled in with concrete,
10:18making this school stand strong
for generations.
10:21And while the boys began
reinforcing the walls with concrete,
10:24I had one more surprise
for the most important part of the school.
10:28You were the principal
of their old school,
10:30and I heard that for the last decade,
you've worked out of your car.
10:33[in Spanish] Yes, I have to work in my car
10:36because I don't have my own office.
10:37So right next to their brand-new school,
we built her her very own office.
10:41[in Spanish] It's your new office!
10:43[in Spanish] Thank you very much!
10:47[in Spanish] You're going to make me cry!
10:51No more working out of your car.
10:53You now have a brand-new office
with your brand-new school.
10:56But this school
can't be considered complete
10:58without one last surprise.
11:00We also made you guys
a brand-new soccer field.
11:04Shout-out to Televisa Foundation
for helping us build this.
11:07Let's go build more schools.
11:09And the next schools we're building
might be the hardest of them all.
11:12All the way in Ecuador.
11:14Imagine living so far into the jungle
11:16that you're left to fend for yourself.
11:18Well, that's the reality
for these next two schools.
11:21And because they have no help
this far into the rainforest,
11:24we're doing everything it takes
to get there.
11:26We had to take two plane rides.
11:28We're now on a three-hour boat ride.
11:30Then we have to off-road
for an hour and a half.
11:33And when we arrived,
11:34we learned how the rain
prevents these kids from learning.
11:37[in Spanish] I couldn't teach
when it rained.
11:40Tin roofs make it absolutely impossible
to hear anybody in here.
11:44Students, they cannot learn anything
without proper conditions.
11:47How high do the waters get?
11:48It gets above your knees.
11:49Forget about learning.
That's just dangerous.
11:51So, we got to replace
the old, weathered schools
11:54with two brand-new elevated schools,
11:56specially designed
to ensure that all of the students
11:59are safe from the rain.
12:00More than fifty kids now
are able to come back to school
12:03with the better conditions.
12:04[in Spanish] Are you guys happy?
12:07And to welcome the hundreds of students
12:09these schools will educate
over their lifetime,
12:11we replaced their dangerous wooden bridge
with a much safer metal bridge.
12:16Now, these kids don't have to be in fear
every time they go to school.
12:20And now that these kids
have a fun place to learn,
12:22we're off to help others do the same
all the way in the United States.
12:26Hope Creek Academy
is a school for students
12:28that have neurodivergent needs.
12:30We try to provide different opportunities
12:31for them to grow and excel
in a safe space.
12:34How's it going, everybody?
12:36And the best place
for this group of students to learn
12:39isn't inside the classroom,
but rather, outside the school.
12:42Data shows that neurodivergent kids
learn better outside, in the wilderness,
12:46than when they're cramped together
inside a room.
12:48Which is why I teamed up with Lowe's
12:50to build the perfect learning center
for these kids.
12:53Everyone you see wearing red
works for Lowe's
12:55and is volunteering on their own time
12:57to give these kids a space
where they can learn and excel.
13:00How is building this place
gonna help with the kids?
13:02This is gonna be kind of
a new type of environment
13:04that they currently don't have,
13:05where they have permission
to play with nature.
13:07So, basically, this is like
an earthly version of a playground.
13:10In a previous video,
13:11we talked about how
Lowe's wanted to make
13:12ten million square feet of impact,
13:14and they actually crushed their goal.
13:16And this year, they're actually committed
to over 2,000 projects of impact
13:19and more than 200,000 volunteer hours
nationwide.
13:24My bad, I misled it.
My bad.
13:26I did that on purpose.
13:27Helping people has been a part of
Lowe's DNA for over 100 years.
13:32So I wanna say thank you so much, Lowe's,
for being a partner with us
13:34and just your commitment
to doing good all around the world.
13:37We got ourselves a playhouse.
13:38I hope they really like that,
'cause it's heavy.
13:40If you wanna learn more,
13:41scan this QR code
or click the link in the description,
13:43and you can see
how you can get involved.
13:44And after putting the finishing touches
on the rest of this learning center,
13:48it was finally time
to bring these children
13:50out to their classroom.
13:51The kids are just so excited.
What a gift.
13:54It's just way more open,
way more natural,
13:56and just provides way more opportunities
for imagination and creativity.
14:02And for our final school,
we're headed to India,
14:05to a school so overcrowded
14:07that hundreds of eager students
don't have enough room to learn.
14:11We do not have our own classroom.
14:13I mean with over 400 students,
14:14how many classrooms
do you guys have total?
14:18So we built them this brand-new,
three-story school.
14:23And because many of these kids
have to walk over an hour in the dark
14:28on busy and dangerous roads
just to get to school…
14:35That's right, we bought them
their own school bus.
14:38I'm very happy that my students,
especially the girls, will come safely.
14:42Alright, guys. We're going to
your brand-new classroom.
14:43Are you guys excited?
14:46I'm excited, too!
Let's go!
14:49The students, they all say,
14:50"We are very excited
to go in our new school."
14:53So I am very thankful for your foundation.
14:55They have given
such a huge building to us.
14:59I just wanted to say that
I'm not the best with this kind of stuff,
15:02but from the bottom of my heart--
15:03Oh, look at him.
We got a little munchkin right there.
15:05From the bottom of my heart,
I just want to say thank you.
15:08We wouldn't be able to change
these kids' lives, the teachers' lives--
15:10The entire communities' lives were changed
15:13because you guys watch these videos
and allowed us to do this.
15:16You're why we can spend over
$3 million building these ten schools,
15:21which over time will teach
over 18,000 students.
15:24You're why we could build wells
to provide fresh drinking water
15:28and made it safer to get around
with buses and bridges,
15:31helping these communities not just now,
but for generations to come.
15:36I hope this is just the beginning.
15:38Like, I have big ambitions,
15:39and I hope throughout the history
of the MrBeast channel,
15:42we are able to save and change
millions more lives.
15:44And so I'm just very grateful
for all of you that watch the videos.
15:48Huge thanks to our partners at T-Mobile
for helping make this video possible,
15:52and for the incredible work
they do in education,
15:54connecting students
through their Project 10Million program.
