Jaden’s 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.
The church has distributed over 5 million bottles of water to residents, but bottled water donations are on the decline.
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.
