The video documents a philanthropic project led by YouTuber Antonio Moniz and his teammate Nolan to construct 100 clean‑water wells across several African countries. Starting in Kenya, they drill deep aquifer wells, install pressurised water towers, and upgrade a school with computers, furniture, books, projectors, and soccer balls. They then travel to remote villages where residents previously trekked miles up dangerous mountains or crossed hazardous rivers to fetch unsafe water; new wells and a bridge dramatically reduce these risks. In Zimbabwe they build a modern well for a hospital and donate bicycles to students. A solar‑powered well is installed to support farmers with 5,000 L/hour water without electricity. The narrative continues with additional wells in Uganda, Somalia, and Cameroon, emphasizing the health, agricultural, and educational benefits of reliable water. The video concludes with a heartfelt call to donate via beastphilanthropy.org/wells, noting that 100 % of contributions fund further wells, and reflects on the broader impact of clean water for future generations.

This is the first of 100 wells we're going to build in this video. Oh, water! Oh, oh crap! You just witnessed a small village in Kenya get access to unlimited clean drinking water in less than a second. One down, 99 more wells in Africa to go. You're going to love this video. Combined, these 100 wells are going to give around half a million people fresh water to drink. And after building some more wells on this side of Kenya, we flew south to the school system of Nairobi Riri. And let's just say they were really happy to see us. How's it going? I was not expecting this. Thank you for the welcome. Not even sure how to react. I appreciate it, everybody. This village threw a welcome ceremony upon our arrival, and Nolan got really into it. Nolan's the most awkward person I've ever met, and that's a lot coming from me. And after being shown around the school— Yeah, I'm so a guest. How's it going? Are you having a good Good day. It's nice meeting you. One of the teachers showed me where the students currently get their water, which is from this river that's extremely unsafe to drink. This is where your students used to get water from? Yes. This is crazy. Yeah. You know, students complaining of diarrhea, infections like typhoid, because this is the water we've been using. So we try to treat, but you see, look at it, you know. But at the end of the day, life has to move on. You have to get some water anyway. This situation is obviously extremely sad. These children's lives are being limited and sometimes cut short from being forced to drink unsafe water. But at least for this village, we're gonna put an end to it right now. I don't think this John's gonna fit. I don't think so. Let's see if we can find some water. Oh! Oh! It is raining! It's beautiful! After the water comes out of the ground, it's fed into enormous barrels like this one. And once they're built into the water tower, In 24 hours, all of the neighboring villages will not only have clean drinking water, but a pressurized water source as well. Which in short means no more doing laundry in unsafe water. And pull! On a scale of 1 to Nolan's mom, how heavy is it? Nolan's mom times 2. Oh, God. Dude, I'll push you off of this. All right, here we go. Under control. We built 20 more wells in Kenya. And after we were done— Bro has another well in here. Don't worry, I have more water in my other shoe. And just so you know how we built these first 29 wells, we used this giant drill to dig hundreds of feet into the ground, past the polluted sources and into an enormous aquifer of pure drinkable water. After that, we spent time installing pipes so that people all around Africa can access water from spigots like this one in Nairiri. Let's see how it tastes. Like water. It took me about a minute to fill this 5-gallon drum. How much water can this provide a day? 3,600 gallons a day. Not only will this well cover the 400 kids at this school, but literally the entire neighborhood and village around this school can use this well. We say thank you Oh, no problem. This thing can basically pump nonstop for 30 years. You would think that having an effect of this magnitude would require the resources and funding of a large government, but that's not true. Solving this problem is possible and something humanity should all be putting effort in to fix. What's the secret of success? To be honest, just find something you love doing and do it for a long period, and eventually you'll succeed. So I'm going to bring it super close. See us? Isn't that cool? Yes. If you look up, it's recording. All right, wow. I'm going to get close. All right. Yeah, you can see yourself. We were also able to install a well for this village and this village and these 12 other villages. And while we were finishing these wells, we were also able to update one of their schools with brand new computers. How are they liking it? They really like— they like them. Glad to see it turned out well. And we also updated the classrooms with new furniture, installed shelves and filled them with new books, donated a soccer ball for every student, and even put modern whiteboards and projectors in all the classrooms. Do you guys like the projector? Yes. We were using a chalk and then a lot of dust, but today everything is clean. We truly appreciate it. No problem. It's the least we can do. But then when we flew out to the site of the 45th well, we realized this community had it even harder. Every time they need to get water, they need to take a treacherous mile-long hike through the jungle. And that mile-long hike also happens to be on a giant mountain. I wake up very early, about 4 o'clock, so that I can fetch water for the school. We are not safe fetching water here. That place very slippery. Chances of getting an injury is very high. So while we worked on their well, the community took me to see how they currently source their water. You guys would have to make this trip how many times a day? 2 times. 2 times a day. Oh, wow. So a typical student would carry something like this? Yes. Oh, gosh. If 200 students did this every day, how hard could it be? It could be very hard. Oh, oh, boy. Dang, this is very steep. We're just walking down this mountain forever. Every day. It was actually surprising how difficult this hike was. And these people go through all of that just to get to the spigot. That water is still unsafe to drink. This is where you guys get your water from normally? Yes. And filled with water, these jugs can weigh up to 40 pounds, which is insane for these children to be carrying up this mountain. The ladies can carry two of those. Oh, I totally can as well then. And as soon as these jugs were filled, it was time to head all the way back up. Hurry up, let's go! He's not even sweating or anything. I got it, I got it. And now instead of spending hours a day for unsafe water, their new well is only 10 feet away from the school. So they can just fill it up here now. I'm too tired. And so we were on our way to the next village where we built our 46th well, but we ran into a little problem. We found out that this village is divided in half by this huge, dangerous river. It may not look like much now, but when the rainy season comes, the water comes up this high and literally swallows this bridge. And why this bridge is such a big deal is the village is over there, the hospital and schools are over there. So they're crossing this bridge multiple times a day. Despite how dangerous this bridge is, it's It's their only option. This river, when it is swollen, it can sweep away people, students, or even animals. In the recent past, we have lost about 3 people trying to cross this river. This loss of life is insane and absolutely unacceptable. The moment we heard about this, we knew we had to help. So while we started work on a new bridge that would let them reach their well, we then traveled over 2,000 miles from Kenya to the country of Zimbabwe. We've been in Africa for over a week. And we still have a lot more wells to do. You kind of smell. I know. It's weird. I showered this morning. Wow. Yeah. If you let me finish, I can put my arms down. Can I count on you two to finish these wells with me? Yes, yes, yes, yes. First on the agenda was to check out a local hospital that was in dire need of clean water. Upon entering, we learned how big of an impact this clinic had on the village. How many kids do you guys give birth to a year here? In a month, about 50. Do 600 births a year? Wow. But unfortunately, the pregnant mothers at this clinic have to walk over over a mile just to get water and then carry these heavy buckets all the way back. However, the good news is we paid for the construction of a new modern well for them. All that needed to be done now was to turn it on. All right, Nolan, are you ready? I'm ready. Over. Let me get a dramatic zoom in. Nolan, I pressed the button. Is it working? It's flowing. Oh, do we want to go check it out? Yes, let's do it. I love how people are immediately just getting water right now. This is easily the coolest thing ever. Now, Nolan here is a professional dancer. He will join. How do I always end up dancing? What is he doing? Oh, gosh. All right, I won't make you watch this anymore. Besides ensuring access to clean water, a lot of the students at this village lack transportation. So we decided to give all of them new bicycles. I know it looks like a lot of kids, but we bought a lot of bikes. Full disclosure, I don't know how to ride a bike. Jimmy only knows how to give away bikes. Never learned how to ride one. Let's break in all the new bicycles. 3, 2, 1, go! Oh, everyone's passing me. Be careful, I don't know how to ride a bike. I don't want to hit anyone. You want to ride it? All right, go for a little, man. Okay. And after giving away the bikes, we continue building wells until we reach— Well number 69! This solar-powered well is specially designed to aid the farmers in this village by providing producing more than enough water for all of their crops and livestock, even during the dry season, without any electricity. Each panel is 200 watts, and it's attached to a pump. That pump can pump 5,000 liters every hour. Basically, it's unlimited amount of water for this entire village. That's incredible. And after we left Zimbabwe, we wanted to continue to give water to communities all across Africa. So we built more wells in Uganda, Somalia, and Cameroon. If you want to see more of what we did in Cameroon, a whole video about that coming soon on the Philanthropy Channel. Spending time in these villages really made me reflect on the importance of building wells, how it brings water to farms to feed the hungry, how it provides clean conditions for hospitals, and most importantly, how it helps the children of this next generation live long, healthy lives and build the future for all of these communities. We await a new dawn of clean drinking water. Water is life. And with some help from the locals, we finally finished a new bridge that this community can use for the next 100 years. Life has been saved. Families will come together. The worries will be gone. The 100 wells we built in this video will change a lot of lives, but not enough. Which is why before you go, I want to urge you all to go to beastphilanthropy.org/wells or click the link in description and donate money if possible. We're literally not profiting a dime off this video. 100% of the money we raise is going to go towards building more wells like you saw in this video all around the globe. I know it's weird that a YouTuber has to do all this stuff, tough, but someone's got to do it. And if no one else is, we're gonna do it. As you could tell, it really does change the lives of the communities where we build them. And finally, Well 100. Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
