Mr Beast Shares the Purpose of His Ghana Trip
Taking to his X account, Mr Beast shared the purpose of his trip to Ghana. In a long message, he noted that he was on a mission to help children out of child labour on cocoa farms in West Africa.
As part of the project, they started giving out free breakfasts at schools. He highlighted that many children were willing to attend classes once they knew they would be fed.
Sharing the progress, Mr Beast noted that school attendance had already increased by 10%.
"To help get kids out of child labour on cocoa farms in West Africa, we started giving away free breakfast at schools. Kids are more likely to go if they know they will be fed, and one school's attendance is already up by 10% in the first week."

The philanthropist stated that he was learning how to get as many of the 1.5 million children involved in child labour in West Africa off farms and into classrooms.

He further stated that in the next year, he hoped to make significant progress and would share updates with his millions of followers.
"I'm probably 2 to 3 thousand hours into learning how I can get as many of the 1,500,000 kids in child labour in West Africa off farms and into schools. I've surrounded myself with the greatest minds, and I feel like I know more about child labour in Africa than I do about YouTube now. Over the next 12 months, I hope to make a lot of progress and bring you all along for the journey. If someone with my influence can’t fix this, who can? I'm dedicated to this mission."
