From the comments, the publisher of the video said this:

> I posted this on another reply below, but the summary is this: SEE International asked if they could do a promotional video for themselves showcasing some of the places their supplies are being used. They used to donate some of the bandages and supplies for some of our clinics. So we said "of course", but had no idea that Mr. Beast was involved until his video was posted, and we were speechless. There were no consents given for Mr Beast. Yes, SEE received $100k from Jimmy, but their bandages and supplies are not the same thing as paying for surgeries to cure blindness as claimed by Jimmy and we haven't received a penny from SEE either, nor expecting to. We were shocked beyond belief after Jimmy dropped his vid, so we reached out to SEE as well, and they told us to pound sand, as if we're were ungrateful for the bandages they gave us, then cut us off from receiving subsequent bandages and supplies in the future. Wow! Yeah, we were blind sided - twice (no pun intended!)
