The content creator took to social media to share a video of his journey with a section of netizens trolling the Kenyan government and opining that the government’s own record pales in comparison to what the Youtuber has done in 8 months.

Some went a step further and cautioned government officials not to play politics by launching projects accomplished by the American Youtuber.

Appalled by the dirty drinking water that school children were using, the Youtuber embarked on a mission to construct 100 well across the continent with 52 in Kenya.

"These 100 wells we built in Africa will change a lot of lives but definitely not enough. That is why we need your help," he stated.

Acknowledging that not all may be impressed by his video, the YouTube sensation who boasts of over 200million subscribers noted that he uploaded the video to inspire his audience to help others.

“I already know I’m gonna get canceled because I uploaded a video helping people, and to be 100% clear, I don’t care. I’m always going to use my channel to help people and try to inspire my audience to do the same,”Mr Beast wrote.
