SPONSORED PROJECTS
NIKA is committed to being the most ethical bottled water on the market. To this end, NIKA donates 100% of its profits by investing in water projects through three world-class non-profit organizations: Free the Children, Millennium Promise and Project Concern International. Each of these organizations has on the ground efforts throughout the world who can implement targeted projects to rid the world of dirty water and un-safe sanitation. To launch our support efforts, NIKA founders have committed approximately $300,000 into water related projects in Latin America, Africa and India.
