The NIKIN x Viva con Agua collab is here! With the Impact Barcelet we arewe are working together for more trees and the promotion of water safety and sanitation in Uganda. You too can be part of this impact. Find out more in the blog.
Viva con Agua and we are teaming up for a collaboration as we share similar social and environmental values. The NIKIN x Viva con Agua Collab consists of the Impact Bracelet and focuses on supporting two projects. NIKIN concentrates on ecological aspects such as tree planting and the production of sustainable fashion, while Viva con Agua focuses on social aspects and provides people with access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities. For every Impact Bracelet, one franc/euro goes to Viva con Agua's One WASH Program and one tree to a special reforestation project.
Impact Bracelet: Recycled & made in Switzerland
The Impact Bracelet symbolizes this collaboration and the desire to share our values with you - the bracelet is an opportunity for you to be part of the movement. The accessory is available in black and mint and comes in sugarcane paper packaging. The materials for the bracelet and the pendant were produced 100% sustainably and fairly by #tide ocean material®, which uses 100% recycled plastic from the sea for production. The Impact Bracelet is also produced locally in Switzerland and assembled in Portugal. By purchasing the bracelet, you are supporting several projects at once.
Tree by treePalorinya Refugee Settlement Uganda
Both projects support people and nature in Uganda. The NIKIN project is, of course, a tree-planting commitment. From April, we will be planting 149,000 trees in western Uganda. The forests will be planted in the area of the Palorinya Refugee Settlement, a refugee camp for people from South Sudan. Around 166,000 people currently live in the refugee camp. The trees are intended to provide shade, relieve pressure on existing trees and strengthen food security.The long-term goal is also to ensure that more firewood comes from controlled sources and that the local population is made aware of deforestation. The project establishes processes that make certain renewable wood available for the construction of huts and for heating, while the rest of the tree population remains in place.
Drop by drop: One WASH program in Uganda
The second project is called One WASH Program and runs from 2021 to 2023. With this project, Viva con Agua aims to increase access to clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene for communities in Karamoja and West Nile. In detail, this means: the construction and commissioning of 6 solar-powered water supply systems at schools and in the communities, 18 new wells and the training of water user committees in the respective locations. The One WASH Program also includes the rehabilitation and improvement of 130 boreholes and wells as well as the reforestation and planting of 20,000 trees to preserve natural water catchment areas.
