MrBeast builds a school in a small town in Mexico

"the high school is the first in the town's history. The project was carried out with Fundacion Televisa, Fundacion Construyendo Mexico, the Mexican comedian and actor Eugenio Derbez, and the construction company Covintec, in coordination with the local government."

"the lack of classrooms in San Andres Tepetitlan meant that the same school had to be shared by middle school and high school students, and it was for this reason that the YouTuber decided to carry out the project in the town."

"Brenda Angelica Rivera Abarca, has widely recognized Jimmy Donaldson and Eugenio Derbez for allowing us to be part of their logistics and get involved in this altruistic and humane project that undoubtedly guarantees higher quality, warmer, and more accessible education."

YouTuber MrBeast constructed 10 schools globally at a cost of $3 million, with one high school built in San Andres Tepetitlan, Mexico—the town's first. The project addressed overcrowding where middle and high school students shared facilities. Collaborators included Fundacion Televisa, Fundacion Construyendo Mexico, actor Eugenio Derbez, construction company Covintec, and local government. The mayor praised the initiative for providing accessible, quality education. The construction process was documented in a 16-minute video, showing rapid building of classrooms, administrative offices, and recreational facilities. Local officials and participants expressed gratitude for the educational opportunity.
