Will Smith was left overwhelmed during a recent charity trip to Ethiopia with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, hailing the visit as "incredibly eye-opening".
The couple flew to Tigray to witness first-hand how money they helped raise for the Charity: Water organisation has helped locals.
They visited communities to see new wells which have improved the
residents' lives, and Smith is pleased with the positive reaction
to the project.
He says, "Our trip to Ethiopia with Charity: Water was an
incredibly eye-opening and authentic experience. It was
extraordinary to meet and spend time with the people of Tigray and
to see first-hand how clean water changes everything for these
communities."
