16:05I Built 10 Schools Around The World
Building 10 Schools Globally The video documents the construction of ten schools across various countries, aiming to provide access to education for over 200 million children lacking safe learning environments. The project goes beyond just building schools, encompassing providing free lunches for five years, access to clean water wells, and preventing child labor. The total cost exceeded $3 million, impacting over 18,000 students and their communities. School Construction and Improvements In Ghana, an unsafe school ordered for demolition was replaced with a new facility and a well for clean water. Another school in Ghana received a full refurbishment, including new walls, ceilings, floors, and two brand-new classrooms. Two teachers received new homes built near a school to eliminate their long commute. A village relying on a polluted river for water received a new well and bathrooms, with a new kitchen established to provide daily school lunches for five years. A half-million-dollar investment was made in one compound alone, with plans to exceed $1 million for community development. A dangerous, old school was replaced with a two-story building, doubling its capacity to over 300 students and adding a solar-powered well. A new school was built from the ground up in seven classrooms, including a kitchen for a five-year free food program, which increased school attendance by 10%. Ten classrooms were built for one school, with a commitment to continued feeding programs. The first high school in a town was constructed, including a new office for the principal and a soccer field. In Ecuador, two remote jungle schools were replaced with elevated structures to protect from flooding, and a safer metal bridge was built. In the United States, a specialized outdoor learning center was built for neurodivergent students at Hope Creek Academy in partnership with Lowe's. In India, a new three-story school was built to address overcrowding, and a school bus was provided for safe transportation. Impact and Partnerships The initiative aims to fundamentally change lives, not just tick boxes, by providing safe learning spaces and preventing children from entering child labor. Partnerships with organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation, Televisa Foundation, and Lowe's were crucial for the project's success. T-Mobile supported the video through their Project 10Million program focused on education and connectivity. The long-term impact is expected to benefit communities for generations to come.
