Update: August 1st, 2025.
On November 4th 2023, MrBeast launched the 100 WELLS Campaign, and we are proud to say this has been one of our most empowering and impact-driven projects to date. All these water projects you see below are fully operational and provide not only clean water, but empowerment to the communities they serve. Today, with TEAM WATER, we're building on that momentum to reach our goal of providing access to clean water to over 2 million people. We hope that you will lean into TEAM WATER and help us transform even more communities, together.
Best wishes,

What Happens When a Community Gets Clean Water?
We focus our resources on sustainable, community-based projects while educating and inspiring others to respond with empathy, kindness, and generosity to global challenges.
Access to clean water is a powerful catalyst for change—it improves health, empowers women and girls through education and opportunity, and supports food security and economic growth. By reducing burdens and unlocking potential, clean water helps break the cycle of poverty and transforms entire communities.
What Happens AFTER a Community Gets Clean Water?
One partner reports:
The ripple effect is clear: improved access to water translates directly into enhanced educational infrastructure, fostering better learning experiences for students. In summary, the introduction of solar-driven wells is not merely about providing water; it is about laying the foundation for growth, health, and education in communities. As water nourishes the land, it also nurtures the dreams of children and the future of healthcare in Cameroon.
While our project partners aim to train communities to be fully self-sustaining in the longer term, we know it’s important to provide repair and maintenance support in the early years after construction, till the community reaches a point of self-sufficiency. That’s why ongoing maintenance and repair support is provided for many projects, depending on the partner organization and type of well installed.
