 Since the day I was born to today, no one has ever made me cry twice consecutively. But this lady right here, Selah Torres, made the impossible possible. Lady gave me my most emotional welcome ever that made me cry. And this same lady made me cry again after seeing how she's using her YouTube platform to transform lives in her village. Sorry, sorry, so you go there now but I'm not sitting in the swell. Please like this video, it's so important to me. Share this video so that others can see this video because I believe that this lady right here is the most inspiring woman in Africa. I'm going to give you this title today. You are the most inspiring lady in the whole of Africa. Can we get a round of applause man? There is a saying that you don't have to be a millionaire or a filthy rich person before you touch lives. We have two hands, right? One hands needs to help yourself and the other hand needs to help others. I believe this is how life is supposed to be. Can you believe that this lady used her 40,000 YouTube subscribers to build a school for her community? In the lockdown, I was teaching them here because they did not know how to do anything, even build kids. And I was like, we need to do something. And my daughter, I went in town and bought books for her during the lockdown. And then the kids started coming. They wanted to learn. So I was like, mom, I will go down and buy some books for them. They started. So we started from there then I was just vlogging as you know. And I was like, these are my kids. They are studying. And then just one person at a time came. Sarah, I want to buy for them blackboard. Sarah, I want to buy for them match. Sarah, I want to do it for them. And that's how we got these rooms. And that's how the school came. You build a school in your village just because of YouTube? Yeah. So is this a government school or a private school? It's a community school. It's not a government. It's not a private. It's a community school. I just did this for my community. Can you believe that this lady used her 40,000 YouTube subscribers to build houses for elderly people in her community? So guys, this is the first house that I built in my community for my grandpa. Grandpa is here. His cooking miracle. And by the way, this miracle was sent to us through a subscriber from the USO. He is taking part of his gift. So we constructed this house. It's two rooms, a bed. And then the sitting room. And inside there, we bought for him a bed, a mattress, a net inside here. But as you know, his grandpa, you know. Yeah. And then we also built this one for him to hang his plates and then cook from here as you're seeing. What even blew my mind, the fact that she feeds these kids by herself. We also prepare rice. Yeah, for the kids. So for sure, rice. Yeah, that's mostly what we want. Maybe then porridge. I believe that this lady is doing God's work because there are kids that have lost their parents and she's the same person that is taking care of them. And also this baby and this one, they are orphans. They are orphans. Yeah. Her mom died when she was doing a house made in Kenya. So when they brought us to me, he was two weeks old. And then for this one, he was maltnosh because her parents died in an eco accident. So they are my babies now. And I cannot come to this place without doing anything. I am buying the tables and chairs just to let you know that I'm leading by example. Please, please, please. Before I take it to my audience, I'm making sure every kid has a uniform. You know what you guys need to do? We need to make sure that the whole school I mean, start working fully. My strength is not enough. But I know that as a million community, we can even do better. The links are in the description. You guys should not disappoint me. We've done this before and we're going to do it again. Hey, how are you? How are you? I did some tea. Where's my own tea? They are preparing. Preparing? Yeah. Are you taking so long? So this is the water here. We are going to remove some water for that tea and then we are going to bury. Why are you making tea for? Like we have my ladies. Those are... That's my club. Your club? Karen's club. What do you do in the club? So here, at first we did agriculture. We had a garden where we did vegetables. And right now we are looking for ways how we could get jobs. Like some wants to do hairdressing. Oh my goodness. No, no, no, Kawi, around of applause man. I've met so many people across Africa. But... I need to take the title from Daniel because I said that Daniel is the most inspiring gentleman in Africa. But I think I'm going to give you this title today. You are the most inspiring lady in the whole of Africa. Can we get a round of applause, man? Wait, wait, no. See, what you've done, I have not even done that. I can't believe it. This is so beautiful, really. No way. See, you brought all these people together. You know what you're doing? You are empowering women. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. No, I need to ask you guys for your favor. Please like this video for me. And I hope and believe that everyone needs to share this video. Because I'm so touched. I was here last night. I came very late and I promise that I'm going to be here again this morning. Were you born here? Yes. You're born here? Yeah, this is my community. You grew up here? Yeah. How was your life? It was really hard. You know our parents, for my mom, she was always looking for a sponsor. Like they would tell her, like this group, come here, they will give you the sponsor for your kids. And they never came. Sometimes she pays her money and they never came. So for me in this mind, when I see people sponsoring, I feel like this is a prayer for my mom. Because she wanted it to be for us. By now it's for the kids and then and even the kids. And then and even the grandmas and grandpas did this comment. Because whenever we see an elderly person, we want to give a hand. You ever left this place? Yeah, I left this place to where? For four years to Dubai. I worked as a housemaid. Housemaid in Dubai? Yeah. For four years? Four good years. The struggle, the pain, the... How was life in Dubai, as a maid? Oh, it was good and bad. I once said it was good, but again it was not totally bad. My bosses were a little bit compared to water hair. But of course it's not good going and working in someone's house. You don't know the language, you know, they are same color far away from your parents. No friends. You just stuck in just one room. Like you don't go out, you don't have friends. They have to be your friend. And what brought you back? I saved up some money and I said I want to give it for my mom. So my mom, she's a single mother that you separated with my dad. When I was still young, so I had to come and build for her a small house. This one from here until then. This one? Yeah. This is your mom's house? Yes. Where's your mom? Ah, where is mom? She have a small business. She's packing ice cream for her kid. Ice cream? Ah, mommy. Yeah. And also this baby. And this one they are often they are often. Yeah. Her mom died when she was doing a house maid in Kenya. So when they brought us to me, she was, he was two weeks old. And then for this one, he was maltnashed because her parents died in an echo accident. Oh my God. So they are my babies now. She take care of all of them. Yeah. And I'm happy. Can I come in? Oh, thank you. Thank you, mommy. I appreciate you so much. Ah, this, can I hug you? Yeah. Ah, I'm now your son. So I need one ice cream. Yeah. Yeah, so that's her business a little bit. Yeah. Finish. Oh, okay. So good. This is for your mom. Yeah. This is the man I worked in Dubai. I built this. So before this one, was your mom staying in there? We were renting. We were renting. Is this part of the house? No, no, this one, my subscriber is beauty to have a school because in the lockdown, I was teaching them here. Because they did not know how to do anything even big kids. And I was like, we need to do something. And my daughter, I went in town and bought books for her during the lockdown. And then the kids started coming. They wanted to learn. So I was like, mom, I will go down and buy some books for them. They start. So we started from there then. I was just vlogging as you know. And I was like, these are my kids. They are studying. And then just one person at a time came. Sarah, I want to buy for them blackboard. Sarah, I want to buy for them match. Sarah, I want to do it for them. And that's how we got these rooms. And that's how the school came. You built a school in your village just because of YouTube? Yeah. It's my passion. And I had a dream. And my mom was a teacher. So she was teaching before she gave birth to us. But my dad stopped her. Stopped teaching. Don't do anything. You go there and they will start. Maybe other men will take you. So she stayed at home. But I forgive him. I'm so sorry to say this. But I forgive him. He's now okay. And we're okay with him. I saw that it's her dream. And when the kids started coming, I was like, okay, mom can be a teacher again. I was like, okay, so that's how we have this school. So your mom also teaches the kids? Yes. Yes. But you started making YouTube videos when you were in Dubai? Yes. I was in Dubai. By the way, when I started, I was on YouTube seeing these people, how they are doing it. But they was in America like that. And I was like, would anyone in Uganda or Africa doing YouTube? Then Ms. Trudy came and she was like, a video of, she turned a million year in Uganda. That was the first video when I saw it, I was like, I can do it. Then I started posting that's because of her. Honestly, I started posting. I knew about it. But I started posting that's because of her. Does she know that you inspired her? No, no, no. She doesn't know that she inspired me. I want to try her that. So sweet. That's like the sweetest thing anyone's ever seen to me. Okay, thank you so much. So that doesn't mean that in this community there was no school or something. We had one government school and it was a bit far. You know for us, we grow sugarcane. Like just, you passed through Kaka the sugarcane. So here we used to grow sugarcane. And kids could pass through the sugarcane going to school. And it was risky they could kidnap them, beat them, just find them and tell them come and do this job and they will not reach at school. So that's why. And for the young babies, and mostly here we are teaching these young babies because we want them to grow up when they know like their knowledge is not starting at age of eight or nine because in a government school they start at eight to nine. So we want them to start at least at age six to study. That's why we have them here. I can hear sounds of kids. Is that your new school? Yes, this is my new school. For the Maya, this is the new school that I wanted you to see. Help me right toward the Maya everywhere tell him so that tourist is waiting for him in the village. Honestly, we are preparing like we are organizing being staffs. We don't know if he's going to come but we know that God is hearing our prayers. And this one we built it from YouTube. And we built it through your inspiration and we built it because Miss Toot showed me the light. She never knew that but that's how you inspire people. No, I'm not the one who inspired you to do this because I've never done anything like this before. There is a school you showed that you went there and visited but then I had started but you and I have small hopes but when I saw that I was like okay, if they can do I can do it. I now know the school. Yes. So through the YouTube videos to inspire you to build the school and I've never built a school for my village. No, I'm building a new school for where I was born. You've inspired me. Thank you. No, you've inspired me. Please. And you have to be the school teacher, by the way. Yes. Miss Toot, I've just started to study business there first month in a school. They sit on the ground to study. Yeah, you know there's a lot happening and because of the finance. Can you do the cost of how much it's going to cost for you to get table and chair for everyone. I'm going to pay for it. Really? I'll pay for it. What this lady has done has really blowed my mind and I now believe that as a community how many subscribers do you have? I have 40K. With 40,000 people she built a school. We're a million people. See. But you have done a lot. No, no, no, no. We have to do this together man. Yeah. I am buying the tables and chairs just to let you know that I'm leading by example. Please, please. Please, please. No, I'm taking it to my audience. I'm making sure every kid has a uniform. You know what you guys need to do? We need to make sure that the whole school I mean start working fully. And you and I have to be part of it. This is going to be by force. I'm not going to beg you or anything like that. You see kids like this they are the future leaders of Uganda and I know and believe that you and I can play a role. I promise you I'll be back here again. Thank you. That will be so good. And I promise you when you come it will be a different setting. You're welcome. How many classroom blocks do you have? We have six. Six. Yes. Hello. Thank you. So this is our first class that we never had in this school because we started last year and then this is the SAM done in the uniforms. They are our LD students here. This is their second year because we start from there to this class as we go up. For this one. Do they pay school fees? No. It's free. You know some of the kids they are orphan is some that these are kids for mothers who are 16, 15. Some they have nothing to do. You know some are married but you know the husband is just lousy. So how sustainable is this for you? How sustainable how will you be able to sustain the school? For right now we are trying to see then for in the future we are planning to set up a standard fees. No. Let me know. I don't want you to set up a standard fees but how many kids do you have in the school? We have 206. 206. In a year how much do you think you can spend on a kid? I haven't calculated really. I want to do this. I want every subscriber of mine should have one kid. From this school. So every every subscriber today right you have to I mean have a kid that you take care of the kid so the kid graduate from this school and goes to a high school or something. All right so so please come up with a system where every they might be abroad they might be in different country but they will be sending you money making sure the kids are okay. But my subscribers are crazy. You know why? What am I telling? Your fans are not easy. They are they want to make sure that you weren't lying and that I was real. They have come here. They have come at least five of them. Five some of them your wife and husband mother and daughter have come to visit Kumasi when they come to Ghana. We have about 10 that's coming this year from England from Jamaica from US who want to see exactly what we've done. One just last two Sundays ago came to see the two children that he's sponsored. Thank God we're real. So I'm doing this and I know that they will listen to me. Thank you. But make a system where when they come they will know that this is the kid that they're taking care of. Okay okay yes they will see they will show their pictures everything anything they want. I'm just ready because I am looking for the future of our village and Uganda and Africa at large. So if we give them that modernity right now they grow up when they at least they advance a little bit. We are going in a top class. Thank you. Thank you. So some are not here because it's a Sunday. Yeah. But some have went to church like as you know. But this are the nearby that you have talked to. So and some are Muslim because for them they attend on Friday. So that's why they are the number is a little bit small but we have a big number. And this is our also our all the class we have been teaching them. It means your whole class doesn't have like because I've seen chess there's no chess on table because kids need to. Yes we saw for for the meanwhile we bought this as something quick because they are all sitting down and we want we do not want that. So have you have you done inquiries in terms of how much does that you should get it you should get a carpenter from here. Yeah. Then you guys make the stuff from here. Yes. So that when I I'm giving you money I know that okay this is how much I need to supposed to give you so that all the class will be. Yeah for the desks we asked and then for these for the three classes we want to to make a table and then a seat as we did. So that even if a teacher gives them just a paper. Yeah so this also another class. Thank you. Thank you. So this is the setting as you have seen like they will sit here like this. Then we have the table in the middle so that they could be around around because sometimes we have the card sometimes we have these big charts but which are not enough that we can't give to every kid. So if they share they will know that they are learning about letter A over they are learning about this animal or they are learning about maybe something together in a group. So that's why we decided we will make it one table the seat for on each table. Or six according to it. Thank you. Oh thank you. This is the last class. Yeah this is primary theory and we end at primary theory. So but we have to go to primary four or five seats and then seven then we we finish the primary level and then they will be able to go to the secondary level. So you have do you have anything in place to build the primary four to seven? Yeah yeah. So this is the land until where the toilet is from where that's nene comes from up to that where the toilet is so this is our toilet. So you first of all acquired a land you bought a land? Yes I said my money that I got I get the my salary is that I fail up and You bought this? Yeah but yeah for my subscribers they built like they were sending me money to build. So is this a government school or a private school? It's a community school it's not a government it's not a private it's a community school I just did this for my community so these are the workers I'm so glad that in this school we are not just helping the kids they are workers because someone who built that roof so like we have so many workers like everyone is getting something through this project. What do you do personally? Personally I have a motorbike. What do you mean you have a motorbike? I have this boarder boarder like I own one That's it? Yeah That's the only business you do?

Yes I'm building for the elderly What? Yeah I have built for four for five people You build that thing?
