"I don't care" - MrBeast talks about cancel culture surrounding his videos
In the video, Jimmy goes around various parts of Africa and builds wells to improve accessibility to water in the localities. The video starts with him constructing some wells in Kenya, including one for a school system in Nairiri village.
He received a huge welcome ceremony at the school and was shown around the area. It was revealed that the school was actually obtaining water from a river nearby, which was unsanitary and, thereby, dangerous.
The YouTuber later stated that the new well would not only provide water for the school itself but also for the surrounding neighborhood and village. He subsequently provided a school with new computers, projectors, and books before visiting other regions with water scarcity and accessibility issues.
