Jaden Smith's Water Box is officially giving Flint residents access to clean water



Jaden Smith’s Just foundation is partnering with First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to bring clean water to Flint Michigan. A couple years ago, the world found out about Flints contaminated water and unfortunately, it is an ongoing problem that the city faces. In partnership with the church, they were able to design a mobile water filtration system called “The Water Box”. It is able to reduce lead as well as other contaminants. The church has distributed over 5 million bottles of water to Flint residents since the water contamination. 



Jadens Just Goods company currently sells responsibly sourced, sustainably packaged water under the same name. On Sunday, Jaden and his mother Jada went to unveil the box, which officially started giving clean water on Thursday.
