NIKIN x VIVA CON AGUA: BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT
"Tree by Tree meets Drop by Drop": NIKIN and Viva con Agua are working together to make a positive impact - both for nature and for people - and are teaming up for a collaboration. While NIKIN focuses on ecological aspects such as tree planting and the production of sustainable fashion, Viva con Agua focuses on social aspects and provides people with access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities. The Impact Bracelet symbolizes this collaboration and the desire to share our values. For every bracelet sold, a tree is planted with One Tree Planted in Uganda and the One WASH Program of Viva con Agua is supported. Be a part of this positive impact and stand up for a greener world where everyone has access to water. #shareyourimpact
The Impact Bracelet
Pendant: #tide ocean material®
The #tide ocean material® is made from ocean plastic. Local volunteers collect plastic from the ocean in different places around the world and make reuse possible.
STRAP: Better on you than in the sea
Just like the pendant, the strap is made from recycled marine plastic, from OceanYarn® by Meister and made in Switzerland.
Packaging: Reuse material
We didn't cut down a single tree to make the packaging for your Impact Bracelet, because the paper is made from industrial sugar cane waste.
Logos: #shareyourimpact
Show your values by wearing the Impact Bracelet. With the NIKIN tree and the Viva con Agua logo, you stand for sustainability and social commitment.
THE PROJECTS
NIKIN and Viva con Agua share the same values, which is why both support a project in Uganda through the sale of the Impact Bracelet. For every bracelet sold, 1 tree is planted in a One Tree Planted reforestation project and 1 Swiss franc goes to the One WASH Programme supported by Viva con Agua.
NIKIN: Uganda 2021 - Palorinya Refugee Settlement
From April 2022, NIKIN will plant 149,000 trees in western Uganda with One Tree Planted and local organisations. The forests will be created in the area of the Palorinya Refugee Settlement, a refugee camp with currently about 166,000 people. Why are trees needed there? 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.
Viva con Agua: One WASH Program in Uganda
With the One WASH Programme in Uganda, Viva con Agua provides 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, the training of water user committees in the respective locations and communities, and a total of 20,000 trees are being reforested to preserve natural watersheds.

Recycled Cotton: How Annabelle Hutter Is Transforming the Textile Industry with Säntis Textiles

Back to the Roots: How Diego Walder is Rethinking Spatz
Spatz is more than just a brand. For many, it’s a feeling—shaped by memories of camp, long summer evenings outdoors, and tents that have been a part of generations of people’s lives. This connection is deeply rooted at NIKIN as well. As the founders of NIKIN, Nicholas and Robin were also shaped by these very experiences: at scout camp, around the campfire, and in nature. This makes our collaboration with a brand that has helped shape Swiss outdoor culture for decades all the more special to us. Today, Spatz stands at a new turning point in its history. And right in the middle of it all: Diego Walder.
From Orchards to Global Reforestation: A Conversation with Hank Lynch, CEO of One Tree Planted
Forests have a special power. They calm us, inspire us, and remind us of how closely connected we are to nature. That’s exactly why NIKIN has been working for years with partners like One Tree Planted to restore forests around the world. But behind every organization are people with stories—and one of them belongs to Harry “Hank” Lynch, the CEO of One Tree Planted.
Living Among Bears: Between Proximity and Respect with David Bittner
Our TreeHouse Talks bring together people who inspire us through their mindful approach to nature. Bear researcher David Bittner has spent every summer in Alaska for over two decades, far from cell service, routines, and everyday life. His stories offer insights into a world where getting close to wild animals is only possible if you’re willing to listen, accept boundaries, and take nature seriously. He shows us how respect, calm, and genuine understanding shape how we experience nature—and what we can take away from that for our daily lives.
