Then you should be helping sub sahara Africa and focusing your limp finger on the middle east.

So just like this MrBeast character, she is in it for attention. Why should we care which attention whore is more successful?

I was also told Mr. Beast has his own line of chocolate bars that are distributed in Walmart.
Try 7-11 next time.

I bet Saran has been dipping into the donations.

Is it really charity if you do it for clicks, likes, and shares in an effort to make ad revenue?
The governments of these countries could have done this as well but are too busy grifting and genociding the countries.

So instead of acknowledging her failures, she blames it on race. Not surprising.
And apparently she has been doing the work for attention and not for the good of the people there
Goes to show. People wont do anything without getting some credit for it

My father in law taught my wife and I through example and mentorship that you put your money into something tangible and directly. Not random charities you have no say. We have helped womens centers, homeless shelters, and addiction clinics. His company has done a lot more. All local and we are able to see where our dollars and time went. Mr. Beast clearly understands this and it is making people mad.

So, humans originated in Africa and they still can’t get access to clean water until some YouTuber shows up? Yep. Definitely racist!
This can’t be stated enough. Who gives a shite who’s putting in these wells? The real question is why after thousands of years of development are they having to put wells in at all?

Saran Kaba Jones, founder and CEO of FACE Africa, an organization working to improve water infrastructure and sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa, told CNN: “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, but we’ve been struggling to continue the work because funding, awareness, and advocacy all take work.” And then, she added, “overnight, this person comes along, who happens to be a white male figure with a huge platform, and all of a sudden, he gets all of the attention. It’s kind of frustrating, but it’s also understanding the nature of how the world is.”
Maybe she should try actually working to build a well rather than spreading awareness.

I reviewed her Facebook, she spends most of her time at Galas and vacationing. Another “charity” that somehow makes her life great. I’ll pass on her opinions

If the bolded above was any other race and ethnicity of the entire planet, this would lauded as one of the greatest charitable acts of all time.

Just built a school in Cameroon too, and provided 100 blindness surgeries.
Dude does a lot of good with his money.

FACE Africa programs focus heavily on local solutions to global problems, and dedicate time to building the capacity of community residents through several months training in health, hygiene, financial management and maintenance. Their programs are also focused on reducing gender inequality, and ensure that a minimum half women make up their WASH Committees and staff.

This is why I continue to say frick Africa.
You are still a white colonizer to them.
How much money over the years has been raised for Africa?

They don’t want permanent solutions to problems.
They need people to not have clean drinking water so they can grift.

Ah yes, because what really matters is the attention.
This is the first I’ve heard of any of this and it has positively impacted half a million or more lives and still all this lady worries about is the attention lol. What a joke.
