In a massive philanthropic move, world-renowned YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) released a video on Saturday, February 21, 2026, detailing his project to rebuild 10 schools around the world, with Ghana serving as the primary focus.
To honor his contribution, the local community formally enstooled him as a "Development Chief", a traditional Ghanaian title reserved for individuals who make significant, life-changing impacts on local infrastructure and social welfare.

Transforming the "Dangerous" School
The heart of the project involved a community in Ghana where the existing school structure was deemed "too dangerous for use" due to dilapidation.
The $1M Investment: MrBeast revealed that he has already spent over $500,000 on the specific compound, with plans to exceed $1 million by the end of 2026 to further develop the surrounding community.
Clean Water & Infrastructure: The team tore down the unsafe buildings, built modern classrooms, and dug a borehole to provide the first reliable source of clean water for the students and the village.
Teacher Housing: After learning that two teachers, Emmanuel and Joseph, were spending a large portion of their salaries on long commutes, MrBeast built and fully furnished on-site bungalows for them.
Free Lunches Until 2030: To boost attendance and health, MrBeast announced a commitment to provide free school lunches for every student until 2030.
