BrightArc is launching a school-based clean water initiative in Jackson, Mississippi, where outdated infrastructure and repeated water system failures continue to place families at risk.
Though federal emergency management stabilized the 2022 collapse, many schools still face unsafe conditions—from boil water notices to elevated lead levels in drinking fountains.
In partnership with local educators and community leaders, this project will install commercial- grade filtration systems in high-need public schools. By focusing on schools, we ensure daily protection while helping to rebuild trust in essential services.
Details:
- Location: Jackson, MS
- Focus: Safe Water + Climate Resilience
- Partner Orgs: Community-led groups + Jackson Public Schools
- Outcomes: 2000+ students + families
- Preparing for implementation (2025)
