Jaden Smith‘s foundation and a church are going to bring cleaner water to Flint, Michigan.

The Flint water crisis first started in 2014 when the drinking water source for the city of Flint, Michigan was changed from Lake Huron and the Detroit River to the cheaper Flint River. Due to insufficient water treatment, lead leached from the lead water pipes into the drinking water, exposing over 100,000 residents.

Flint racial demographic consist of over 57% of black people and 45% of Flint, Michigan residence are under the poverty line. Flint currently has the nation’s highest poverty rate among U.S. cities with at least 65,000 residents. This whole water crisis is a Designed by the government.

Anyway, Jaden non-profit organization and First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church on Friday announced they’ll deploy a mobile water filtration system known as “The Water Box” that reduces lead and other potential contaminants.

The 20-year-old’s JUST goods company collaborated with the church to design and engineer the system. Jaden has already been donating bottles of water from his company to Flint, Michigan.

First Trinity Missionary Baptist church has distributed over 5 million bottles of water to residents, but bottled water donations are on the decline and becoming ineffective to the citizens of Flint.

Flint has been replacing water lines after lead-tainted water was discovered in 2014. Lead began leaching from pipes after the city tapped the Flint River for drinking water without properly treating it to reduce corrosion. If you think this is a coincidence well think again. America is doing what it always has done and that’s try to put black people down.
