Residents of the Michigan community still lack access to clean water five years after the Flint Water Crisis. In order to assist, Jaden Smith is leveraging his business, JUST water.
Together with First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church, the environmentally friendly bottled water company is bringing “The Water Box,” a mobile water filtration device, to Flint.
The Flint water supply’s levels of lead and other impurities will drop thanks to the system. More than five million water bottles have been given to locals by the church, although the amount has been dropping. Smith’s Just Goods Company and the church created the Water Box with the intention of offering some long-lasting healing.
Together with his well-known father, Smith founded JUST water in 2015. A number of well-known figures, including Jada Pinkett Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Lionel Richie, Queen Latifah, and Calvin Harris, are members of the group.
The 20-year-old, who has always had a strong environmental ethic, has expanded the use of recyclable JUST water bottles to the UK, a number of retail locations, and educational institutions within the past year.
