The NIKIN x Viva con Agua Collab is here! With the Impact Barcelet setsWith the Impact Barcelet we are working together for more trees and the promotion of water security and sanitation in Uganda. You too can be part of this impact. Learn more in the blog now.
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 focuses on ecological aspects, such as planting trees and producing sustainable fashion, while Viva con Agua focuses on social aspects, providing people with access to clean drinking water and sanitation. For each Impact Bracelet, one franc/euro goes to Viva con Agua's One WASH Programme and one tree to a special reforestation project.
Impact Bracelet: Recycled & made in Switzerland
The Impact Bracelet symbolises this collaboration and the desire to share our values with you - the bracelet is the opportunity for you to be part of the movement. The accessory comes in black and mint and is packaged in Sugarcane paper. The materials for the bracelet as well as the pendant are 100% sustainably and fairly produced by #tide ocean material®, which uses 100% recycled plastic from the ocean for the production. In addition, the Impact Bracelet was produced locally in Switzerland and assembled in Portugal. With the purchase of the bracelet you support several projects at the same time.
Tree by tree: Palorinya Refugee Settlement Uganda
Both projects support the people and nature in Uganda. The NIKIN project is of course a tree planting commitment. Starting in April, we will plant 149,000 trees in western Uganda. The forests will be created in the area of the Palorinya Refugee Settlement, a refugee camp for people from South Sudan. Currently, about 166,000 people live in the refugee camp. The trees will provide shade, relieve pressure on existing trees and strengthen food security.The long-term goal is also to increase the use of firewood from controlled sources and to raise awareness among the local population about 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.
Drop by drop: One WASH programme 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 safe 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 Programme also includes the rehabilitation and improvement of 130 boreholes and wells, as well as the afforestation and planting of 20,000 trees to preserve natural watersheds.
