00:00We're on a mission to give 2 million people all around the world clean water.
00:05This village of Malawi now has clean water, impacting over 1,000 people.
00:10This is the first elite project we're going to be doing and the largest creator collab in history.
00:15Over 3,000 of your favorite creators are all coming together.
00:19With over 3 billion followers combined, this could be one of the largest philanthropy projects in history.
00:26Team Water, all of us teaming up from around the globe.
00:29To get clean water that will last decades to over 2 million people in need.
00:34All starting here in Malawi. Let's give away some water.
00:38We just installed this pump. This is going to be the first time we use it.
00:46So the first cup of water is going to the village team.
00:50Oh, he's downed it.
00:51This entire community used to survive on water collected from puddles like this.
00:56And every drop had to literally be carried by hands.
00:59That's what they do every single day.
01:01What does this water look like?
01:02I mean, look at all that dirt.
01:03If I drank this, would I get sick?
01:05Yes, you probably shouldn't.
01:07I think we can all agree this is very unacceptable.
01:09I mean, look at those chunks of dirt in this water.
01:11They will no longer happen now that we have that one.
01:13With local leaders, we make sure that clean water is no longer a concern here.
01:17Wow, look how excited they are.
01:19Over 1,000 people that live around here are going to be supported by just this pump.
01:24Orkin or Vin, who wants to sub it? I'm getting tired.
01:26These two have 55 million subscribers combined and are just two of the thousands of creators that make up Team Water.
01:33Here you go.
01:34That's a lot of water.
01:35Jimmy, is it going to last forever?
01:36As long as this well is maintained, which is obviously what Team Water is going to do, this well can practically last forever.
01:42The well we started at and this water pump are just the beginning.
01:45Team Water is on a mission to raise $40 million so that we can provide over 2 million people clean water.
01:51Let's keep going.
01:52Next, we went to South America, where we received an amazing welcome from the people of Columbia.
01:57You guys are too kind. You don't have to do this.
01:59Amazingly, the pump for the local water source was designed from spare parts by one man with no formal training.
02:07You built this with recycled bicycle parts.
02:09And this well is what's currently supplying over 1,000 people with water.
02:13Oh my goodness.
02:15Out this pipe comes water that the communities are drinking.
02:17And at first glance, this water doesn't look too bad.
02:20But really, there are little particles of dirt and more importantly, bacteria that is constantly getting everyone here very sick.
02:26Which is why, literally right beside the well that Crystal made with bicycle parts, we built this giant water filtration system.
02:32The system filters water in three stages.
02:35This removes dirt, sand, and large particles.
02:37The water is then pumped into here, which removes the bacteria and even smaller particles.
02:40And then it's pumped into here, which removes the saline.
02:42So that fresh water can be pumped through this pipe.
02:45If anyone deserves the first glass of water to come out of this filtration system, it's Crystal.
02:50You might guess.
02:51Oh, he's going right for it.
02:52Oh, he's downing it.
02:54Do you approve?
02:56Boid me in?
02:57Oh, thank you.
03:02Even YOLO with over 33 million subscribers couldn't help himself.
03:05This water is better than in my home.
03:07Team Water is going around the globe with all of your favorite creators.
03:11Like Mark Rober, the Stokes Twins, and so many more.
03:14With the mission of bringing clean water, the most basic human right, to millions of people.
03:19We also built this massive water storage container that can hold the equivalent of 20,000 bottles of water.
03:25And because we brought a ton of reusable bottles, we couldn't wait to share the fresh, clean water with the community.
03:31Hey, we got water for everybody here!
03:32But unfortunately, nearly 1 in 10 people don't have access to clean water.
03:37Which is why we need your help to raise $40 million.
03:40On average, every dollar donated will provide one person with clean water for an entire year.
03:46To power the water filtration system, we installed a solar farm here.
03:49But we couldn't stop there.
03:51We also have a special surprise for all the little kids.
03:53That's your brand new playground!
03:54They're way more excited about the playground than they were about the water again, though.
03:58We then traveled to the site of an existing clean water project, where more than 100 kids come to school just to get clean water.
04:05Here you go.
04:06Here you go, little man.
04:07Mash, this one's empty!
04:09Ah, Jimmy!
04:09But even though this community has access to clean water, there was still a problem.
04:13Since people from over four communities have to walk far to reach the central water source, we added three tanks nearby for easier access.
04:21Now, I'm going to show you how much walking it's going to save people in the community.
04:25Oh, these jugs are so heavy.
04:26Push!
04:27It's hard to believe.
04:28Nearly 1 in 10 people don't have access to clean water.
04:31So, for every dollar they donate, someone on average will get...
04:34One year of clean water.
04:35Oh my gosh.
04:36Well done, Jimmy.
04:36If I actually can tell it's very hard to carry water, tea water goes above and beyond to take care of people.
04:41And, of course, we also gave this community a playground.
04:45And then we went just north of India to Nepal, to this small village where locals hike up a winding trail to reach this water tap,
04:52where they rely on just a piece of cloth to filter their water.
04:56Behind me is one of the three tanks that's going to be providing clean drinking water to over 300 people in the community.
05:01This tank, when completed, will hold 15,000 liters of water,
05:05paired with a mechanism to clean the water, disinfect it, and make it safe to drink.
05:09Once this is done being built, how long is the tank supposed to service the community for?
05:13Easily for at least 15 to 20 years.
05:15We've teamed with WaterAid, our lead global partner, to help provide clean drinking water.
05:19They also support local governments that handle repair and make sure everything keeps working.
05:24Not only we're providing the project, but we're maintaining it for decades to come.
05:27We should probably get back to work.
05:29Yeah, we should, yeah.
05:30You know, it's going to take over 2,700 kilos of concrete to complete this water tank.
05:34I think I've worked 18 hours today.
05:36But if it means these people get clean drinking water just one day early, I'll work 24.
05:42No.
05:43Don't look me in the eyes doing this, bro.
05:45Those three water tanks will provide clean drinking water to 71 households and around 300 people.
05:50On average, every dollar donated is going to provide clean water for an entire year to someone in need.
05:55Make sure to donate.
05:56And if you're in the United States, you might think this only affects other countries.
05:59But science creator Mark Rober and I are hard at work.
06:02Because in 2022, flooding caused Jackson, Mississippi's entire water system to fail,
06:07which had this assisted living facility struggling.
06:10Having water to brush your teeth, prepare meals for your food, just take a bath.
06:14And to solve this issue, we have a machine that pulls water out of the air?
06:18That's right.
06:18An atmospheric water generator.
06:20And I have no idea what that means, which is why I brought Mark Rober.
06:23What does this do?
06:23So you know how on a really hot day, your glass gets beads of water on the outside?
06:28Yeah, because, like, the water goes through the glass to the outside.
06:30It's not going through the glass, Jimmy.
06:32That water is coming from the air.
06:33This machine cools down the air, and then it can't hold that water anymore,
06:37at which point you collect it in this big tank.
06:39Plus, it purifies it all in the process.
06:41It's basically just squeezing and wringing out air.
06:45How is that humidly possible?
06:46This water is so clean and fresh, you could use it in an operating room.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Cheers.
06:52Wow.
06:52Science is amazing.
06:54This machine generates enough water for the entire assisted living facility.
06:58And they're going to be giving it to other people in the community who also struggle to get clean water.
07:02Team Water, we are internally grateful for everything.
07:04And Team Water is also partnering with Dig Deep to give the people in Rodel, West Virginia, an updated water system.
07:10In previous years, they've just had a lot of problems with the infrastructure crumbling.
07:14So this should do a lot of good for this community.
07:16All the way over in Ecuador, we're with Ricky Lamone and four of his friends with over 120 million subscribers combined.
07:23And they're going to help clean up the water from this dangerously contaminated river.
07:26Even though it's very beautiful, the water here is dirty.
07:29The river is full of germs like E. coli and Giardia.
07:32And unfortunately for the village, right next to the river, it's the only source of water for them and their children.
07:3734% of kids under five, they got malnutrition and stomach issues.
07:42So to change these kids' lives, we're building filtration for each of the three water storage tanks using reverse osmosis filters to make the water safe to drink.
07:51Yeah, it comes out completely clear.
07:53It's like magic.
07:53I know that means very good.
07:58Yes, this is very good.
08:00And with some help, we're giving water filtration bags to everyone in the community.
08:04So they can have clean water with them anywhere they go.
08:07Did you tell her what the bag is for?
08:10Yeah, I just told that, bro.
08:12I'll just check it.
08:13Thanks to the Amazon Rainforest Investor Coalition, we're supporting the amazing work that's being done in this video.
08:18Water!
08:19Meanwhile, across the world in Zambia, fitness creator Brownie is at the largest community in this video.
08:25There are a staggering 9,000 people that do not have access to clean water here.
08:30And their only option is to dig shallow wells that often get polluted.
08:33It's not covered.
08:34So when we receive rainfall, there's flooding into this well, it gets contaminated.
08:38You'll find yourself in the hospital.
08:39So we installed three 10,000 liter water tanks to make sure that every last one of the 9,000 people here have access to clean water.
08:48Is it good?
08:49Yeah, it's good.
08:50Now that these tanks are supplying brand new water stations all around the community,
08:55they can finally fill those old unsafe wells.
08:58Let's go.
09:00Putting a stop to this.
09:01The projects you guys saw in this video are just a sample size of what we're going to be doing with Team Water
09:05to give 2 million people clean water all around the world.
09:08Five years ago, we did Team Trees, where we raised $20 million to plant 20 million trees.
09:13And three years ago, we did Team Seeds, where we raised $30 million to pull 30 million pounds of trash out of the ocean.
09:17And now we're back with Team Water, only this time it's the audacious goal of $40 million.
09:23It gives 2 million people all around the world clean water for decades each.
09:27And none of this would be possible without our lead global partner, WaterAid.
09:31If you want to donate, just click the donate button down below, or you can go to teamwater.org,
09:34where you can see every single donation.
09:36You can leave messages when you donate.
09:37You can also see the top donators.
09:38Me and Mark Rover know we can't raise $40 million on our own,
09:41which is why you're going to see thousands of creators uploading videos, TikToks, shorts, reels, Instagram photos about Team Water.
09:46And on top of donating, I need you guys to go engage with all of that content.
09:50I need you to share it.
09:50I need you to spread the word.
09:52I need you to harass your favorite creators to support Team Water.
09:55Do your part to make this a success.
09:56If you're watching this video when it first goes up,
09:58you'll notice the counter doesn't start at $0.
10:00It's starting at $500,000.
10:02That's because Shopify, who powers the Team Water merch store,
10:05has stepped up with a $500,000 donation.
10:07Thank you, Shopify.
10:08Also, special thanks to YouTube,
10:09who will match the next $2 million donated to Team Water.
10:13So if you donate to Team Water right now,
10:15instead of giving someone a year of clean drinking water,
10:17you'll actually be giving them two.
