Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, gave Kenya an impromptu visit on Saturday, April 12, without advertising the move on social media.
The 24-year-old American YouTuber is always out to help the vulnerable using his huge following. The most recent visit to the country saw him visit one village to feed vulnerable families.
He first rose to fame as a YouTuber when he posted a video series titled ‘Worst Intros on YouTube, ’but his popularity reached newer heights when he started posting unique videos, even as he posted YouTube videos that center on expensive stunts.
On his Instagram handle, Mr. Beast pointed out that all of Kenya’s MPs are thinking about is raising their salaries and posting their luxury life on TikTok instead of helping the electorate.

Mr Beast Last Visit to Kenya
This is not the first time the American native has been of help to Kenya. In 2023, he sponsored the drilling of 52 boreholes, which appeared on his YouTube channel.
In the same year, he said the initiative of drilling boreholes would provide clean drinking water for up to 500,000 people in Cameroon, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
During his recent visit, the philanthropist paid a visit to a Nairobi school, and the sorry state of the school prompted him to donate desks, donate a greenhouse, sponsored building of a kitchen even and elevated water storage equipment.

The provision of desks ensured that the pupils did not sit on the rocks anymore, which made learning hard. By sponsoring the putting up of a new kitchen, the pupils were assured of quality food, which prevents food poisoning.
This commendable move prompted many Kenyans to various social media expressing their thoughts on the same, even as some criticized the Government and various stakeholders, wondering why they have to wait for a foreigner and yet they have all the resources required to execute the same.
Mr. Beast, who also doubles up as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, recently became only the second creator to reach 100 million subscribers worldwide.
