A foundation run by Jaden Smith, son of actor Will Smith, is working with a church to bring cleaner water to Flint, Michigan, by using a mobile water treatment system.
Smith’s company, JUST Water, is using the system he calls The Water Box to filter out lead and other contaminants before distributing the water to residents.
A free bottled water program was canceled in Flint in 2018 under Gov. Rick Snyder’s leadership. While newly appointed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to reinstate the program, bottle donations to the city have declined, prompting Smith and his company to get involved.
