This spring we met Nika Water at the San Marcos Spring Festival. After talking with them, we found out a little about their goals and philosophies. One of the most unique being that they donate 100% of their profits to support clean water projects in impoverish countries as well as bring awareness to these issues.
From their website:Our goal is to create awareness and knowledge to serve as a catalyst for thousands of youth to get involved in our quest to bring clean water to the impoverished world.
Mindful of our duties as stewards of the Earth, NIKA has been certified as CarbonFree® by Carbonfund.org through our investment in carbon offsetting programs such as a reforestation project in Nicaragua. In addition, NIKA has developed a very unique recycling program where we pay high schools around the country a small fee for each plastic bottle that the school collects and recycles. Through this "One-for-One Recycling Program," our aim is not only to be plastic bottle neutral but an advocate of the importance and simplicity of basic recycling as well.
Our founders are a group of seasoned business executives who have successfully built and expanded for-profit businesses and who now share a common focus of creating social and environmentally responsible businesses that can be used to help solve global problems. Our founders have funded all of NIKA's startup and launch/operating losses and will realize no compensation or economic benefit from NIKA's operations. We are committed to making NIKA truly the most ethical bottled water brand on the market.
We noticed that they had some pretty cool t-shirts too! And they were kind enough to offer us a referral for the screen printing company they use for these shirts, Forward Screen Printing in Vista! Now we are working with them on producing the Try Change line out here in SoCal! Stay tuned!
NIKA has been attending alot of local events in San Diego lately; spreading the word about their cause and their water. Today they will be at Fiesta Del Sol in Solana Beach so if you're in the area come check them out!
Help us pass along the Try Change message by joining one of our online communities!
Thank you!
Vince & Chrissie
