Mari Copeny - also known as ‘Little Miss Flint’ - became an activist at the age of 8 when the water supply in her hometown of Flint in Michigan, USA, was contaminated with lead. She rose to the public spotlight in 2016 when her letter to then President Obama about the water crisis prompted him to visit the city and see it for himself. Now she's fighting to help other communities across the United States who are unable to access clean and safe water.
