MrBeast's TeamWater sets up water filtration system in African country of Malawi

The video begins with him constructing a handpump in Malawi, a landlocked country in Southeastern Africa, bordering Zambia and Tanzania. Next, he moved on to South America, visiting Colombia, where a local leader had created a makeshift pump by using spare bicycle parts. MrBeast and his team replaced the pump with a three-stage water filtration system to help remove dirt, bacteria, and salt.

Furthermore, he installed a water tank that could hold water equivalent to 20,000 bottles and also provided reusable water bottles to the people of the local community. To power the water filtration system, he built a solar panel farm, which uses sunlight to generate electricity.

As a bonus for the children of the local community, MrBeast made a playground where they could play together. After arriving at the site of an existing TeamWater structure, MrBeast installed four new water tanks at distances that were reachable for the four local communities that relied on it for clean drinking water. This would improve accessibility while reducing the distance they have to walk to acquire water from the central water source.

TeamWater's visit to and work in Nepal

MrBeast was also seen visiting a small village in the country of Nepal, which is located just north of India. There, he installed one of three tanks that would provide a source of clean drinking water to over 300 individuals in a community. These individuals were getting their water from a tap after climbing a trail up in the mountains, with them using a cloth to filter the water, a method that was both ineffective and unsafe.

The tank was capable of holding 15,000 litres of water and was accompanied by a mechanism to clean and disinfect the water. This construction was done with the help of WaterAid, the project's lead global partner.
