NIKIN x VIVA CON AGUA: BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT
"Tree by Tree meets Drop by Drop": NIKIN and Viva con Agua join forces for positive impact - for nature as well as for people - and team 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 Viva con Agua's One WASH Program is supported. Be a part of this positive impact and work 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.
CURRENT CONTRIBUTIONS
The 4 most beautiful SAC huts in the Swiss Alps: idyllic mountain huts
Spring is approaching - and with it the hiking season. Mountain huts, which are often run by the SAC, offer comfortable overnight accommodation for tours lasting several days. The roof over your head protects you from the kind of weather-related surprises that can occur in a tent. We therefore asked the NIKIN team about the most popular and most beautiful mountain huts. In this blog, we present the four most popular SAC huts and mountain accommodation.
Churfirsten: a mountain range shrouded in legend
The imposing Churfirsten mountain range with its steep gradient to Lake Walen on one side and natural hiking paradise on the other is the inspiration for our new "Mountain Panorama" series. This blog complements the schematic illustration on the TreeShirt and TreeSweater with exciting stories, facts and background information about the Churfirsten.
Our tree planting projects in March: Canada and Kenya
Together with our community, we are committed to monthly tree planting projects around the world. In March, we are supporting three reforestation projects in Canada and Kenya, which are carried out by local organizations and managed by Veritree. You can find out more about the three projects in this blog.
NIKIN x Pfadi: more than just sympathy
Today is World Thinking Day - on February 22, Scout movements around the world celebrate the birthday of their founder Robert Baden-Powell and his wife Olave, who invested a great deal of time and commitment in the Scout movement. Although NIKIN is not a scout, as the 'Scouts' are called in Switzerland, it shares many values and activities with them. This blog highlights these similarities between the Scouts and NIKIN.
