American YouTuber MrBeast has won hearts after his charitable acts in Narok County.
Born James Stephen, the businessman and philanthropist landed in Oloirien Primary School in Nairok, where he immediately embarked on upscaling the learning infrastructure as well as equipping them with farming materials for food security.
He established a feeding programme at the school, which saw the admission rate of learners go up.
"Because of our meal programme, the school attendance skyrocketed," MrBeast said.
MrBeast and his team purchase new desks for the learners, who had all the while been studying from the cold, dusty floors.

He delivered a truckload of new desks to help the learners study in a conducive environment.
To sustain the food programme, the philanthropist equipped the community around the school with farming technology to increase food production.
He bought a tractor for the farm run by his foundations; the farm has been divided, and a chunk is dedicated to the school's food production.
MrBeast expressed confidence that with highly mechanised farming, food production would be enhanced, hence curbing hunger, which is among the major challenges in the school and the adjoining localities.
He also brought a truck for supplying surplus production to the markets.
Besides the learning infrastructure, MrBeast built solar-powered water reservoirs, a greenhouse and a new kitchen, among others.
He revealed that he uses the funds generated from the YouTube views to support the charitable cause.
Besides Kenya, the American YouTuber undertakes such projects in countries like Ghana, Somalia, Uganda, Cameroon and Zimbabwe.
His philanthropic acts include sinking boreholes for clean water, donating food and learning materials, building bridges, and donating bicycles.
MrBeast broadcasts his acts of charity through YouTube account that boasts of over 380 million subscribers.
