‘Housewives’ Bring Relief to Kids Camp in Flint, Mich.


Through last week’s pop-up sale, Phaedra raised enough money to bring 150 children to an overnight camp in Fenton, Mich., for free, providing a much needed respite to kids affected by the Flint water crisis.

Character development was on the camp curriculum, and Kenya taught them how to stay fabulous and twirl away the shade. In this episode, Phaedra and Kenya put aside their big-city problems and really connect with each other and the kids.

The camp made a huge impact, helping relieve many of the kids of the burdens they face daily. After a dance performance, some campers shared stories about losing family members to gun violence. Tears were shed, and Kenya and Phaedra were there to give out hugs.

Phaedra said, “These children have been poisoned by the water system and the government has done very little to help them. So it’s very important for me to be a voice for the voiceless and hopefully effect change.”

We’d like to see more projects like this on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
